Frank  Almaida called me a short while ago and told me he just saw an unusual 
 American Robin.  It was among a large flock of robins in front of a house  
at 1961 Middle Bridge Drive (near Indian Springs Country Club) in Montgomery  
County (page 46, A-3, DeLorme Map Book).  The robin had a white back and  white 
wings, everything else was normal.  Frank is trying to get a  picture of the 
bird


I saw an unusual robin a number of years ago here at our pond in Ashton. It  
was a nearly complete albino (heavily leucistic at least) and when I first saw 
 it, off and on for a number of days, I thought it was a light colored  
Mockingbird. Only upon closer inspection did I find it was a robin.
