[cobirds] Re: Leucistic Bird Photos wanted

Hi George -
I have a few pics of the red-tail that was in Westminster for about 20 yrs. He passed last summer. Got pics about two or three weeks before his body was found - not the best pics but usable. I heard the body was send for study but not sure where it went, perhaps CSU or Museum of Nature and Science. Would be great if it was mounted.

Hi George...I have MANY.  It will take a bit to find them among my 20,000 photos But I know where they are. Coincidentally, I just posted about a few leucistic birds at the Monte Vista Refuge.

Hi All,

The summer issue of Colorado Birds will have an article on leucism: "A partial loss of pigmentation in a human or other animal, resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, fur, or feathers but not the eyes." (https://www.thefreedictionary.com/leucistic)

We are in search of photos of leucistic birds for the article, especially any high-quality photos of the leucistic Red-tailed Hawk that frequented the Greater Denver area in years past. If you have any photos of "white birds" that you would like to contribute for this article please get in touch: pho...@cobirds.org.

Thanks much!
