Media notes
Badly out-of-focus image, and overexposed, but shows how pale this Bewick's Wren was. Don't believe I've ever seen a leucistic BEWR before.
Observation details
One of these was a very interesting looking bird, a leucistic Bewick's Wren apparently. Very washed out in general, being a light buffy coloration above and a fairly clean white throughout the underparts. It did still show a slightly darker (light brown) transocular line, along with the white supercilium, and light brown barring could be seen on the undertail coverts. Didn't get great looks at the upperparts (or very good photos for the most part) as was very active, never sitting still for more than a brief moment it seemed (had come in to pishing, along with a mixed species group that included as many as eight or nine other species). Was hard to keep track of the one bird of interest. Some photos came out ok, fortunately, but many were out of focus, overexposed, or blurry from motion.
