I caught this fully leucistic Curve-billed Thrasher at my sister-in-law's home in east central Arizona.

It took me three hours in a blind before I caught it.

The eye color is normal, so this is not an albino bird.

I forgot to mention that this was IDd by Sibley as a juvenile due to the yellow flanges on the gape.

Fabulous shots, Zoutedrop!
ABA Lifers-485; it would be higher if I could get up earlier.
