leucistic robin 48

I photographed this leucistic robin last spring/summer/fall in the same vicinity of a local nature centre. I was thrilled to see its return considering the challenges it faces that would shorten its lifespan.

Beautiful sharp shot Janet. Great to catch it a second time. I had the same experience with a hybrid goose yesterday (Canada - Gr White-fronted, I think) I got it last Nov in the same area as where I saw it yesterday.
