Yuma Outdoorsman Report post Posted December 27, 2019 Shot a pretty cool bird in the desert a couple weeks back. She was a little leucistic. Never seen one like this before. Check out the feet and topknot color. Hard to see or much different it is in photos; in person it was pretty wild. 7 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted December 30, 2019 Very cool! thanks for sharing. Like you said, it's probably a leucistic bird. for those unfamiliar with the term it basically means the bird has a mutation that makes the pigment not deposit in the feathers normally. more info on leucism https://www.thespruce.com/bird-leucism-387342 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
