Oregon Junco with White Patches

Oregon Juncos enjoy the cold weather.  Every morning in winter, one to two dozens of Juncos come flying in to my place.  Once in a while, I have found a Junco with white patches.  This is called "leucism" which means reduced pigmentation.


In the middle of November, I encountered this cute Junco.

"Hi, I have many small white patches.  

Don't they make me look even prettier?"

Yesterday I saw this one with a lot more white on the head.

"I am quick and swift because I show up too

 much.  Thanks for your seeds."
