It's startling when you see an anomaly like this leucistic American Robin. Asa B. Spade noticed this unusual-colored bird just north of Point Arena, on Riverside Road.

You can see that this robin has dark eyes and some of its red-breast, so it's not albino. Here is the definition for leucistic: "An animal condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes." It's pretty rare so it's a treat to see this bird.

Thanks to Asa for allowing me to share her photo with you here.

We had a quarter inch of rain yesterday. Today has been sunny, breezy and beautiful!
