Leucistic Black-capped Chickadee


This little guy/gal has been hanging around the feeders all winter with the other 40 or so
Black-capped Chickadees. What is most noticeable is the pink legs and feet as well
as the mostly white face. Birds with abnormal white patches are usually defined as being
leucistic which is a fairly rare condition in birds.
