Observation details
One of my biggest hopes in coming back was to bag some photos of the many leucistic Native Hens... and there they were!! I eventually managed to track down a little flock with a bird wearing a huge white blaze on its back, and nearby another was aggressively strutting about with many white flecks on the rump, flanks and head!!! It really does seem to imply that this is an extremely insular and distinct population; who knows?? Maybe someday, long in the future, we'll have a white Arboretum breed of Native Hens?? I would be unsurprised and delighted...
