Subject: [MDBirding] Leucistic Robin at North Point State Park


A beautiful leucistic Robin was seen about .1 mile from the main entrance of North Point State Park in with a flock of about 75 Robins. This bird had a bright yellow bill, a dark eye; and except for a few gray speckles on the back, this bird was pure white. (On first viewing, I thought: Yellow-billed Cotinga, but no, we are not in Costa Rica).

Here is the full list.

Good Birding!
