This robins been hanging around my yard for about a week. I think its pretty cool,the old lady "yep its a bird". Final sat in my truck after trying to get pics through the kitchen window. Got a few pics. And remember I'm not Johnathon, some are a little fuzzy. Also inflight from the rear all of its trailing feathers on its wings are white. Wing tip to wing tip!
WISH I HAD MORE TIME TO TRAP!

Many times when they are young in the nest they get a parasitic fly larvae feeding on their newly emerging feathers and this damage causes the feathers to grow in white. Never heard of that, interesting!

I have another oddball bird here.
Its a common grackle. Half of its top bill is white. Might be hard to get a pic. I get 15-20 in my yard at a time.
