WOW! I just saw the weirdest thing!

Hi group! I've been watching the birds gathering for the final fall feast, when I saw what appeared to be a white robin! Several Robins were flying about, but this guy looked just like a Robin only completely white. An albino perhaps! Any thoughts? Is there such a thing? Sue

I've never heard of one. You should try and get a picture.

Yep, I imagine that it would be an albino. I've never seen a completely albino robin, but I have seen a leucistic robin (normal colors but really faded, nearly white). Lucky you!
