This morning, I hiked around Greenbury Point (on the base side near
the water treatment area) and I saw an Albino (partial) Tree Swallow.

But here is where it gets interesting:  this swallows breast was a
pale orangish (closer to tan), the wings were black with random white
streaks throughout and the head, crown and nape were entirely white.
The eyes stood out black.  Try not to laugh, but it was as if a Bald
Eagle fell in love with a Tree Swallow.

When I saw it flying about with several Barn, Tree and N. Rough Winged
Swallows, I thought this particular swallow had something in it mouth
(with the bold white streak flying about), so I waited for several
minutes until it perched on the top of a chain link fence about 30
feet from where I stood.  It was quite an interesting bird.  It didn't
have the long tail of a barn.  Near to it (perched) were two N. Rough
Winged Swallows and it was just a touch bigger in size.

Anyone have any thoughts?
