Red-winged Blackbird - This male should have a red and yellow patch on the wing, but it should not have any white feathers. After talking with Dr. Rintoul (K-State University), the likely cause of this localized "albinism" is probably a somatic mutation. The melanin is lacking in some of the primaries and coverts. This individual is located in Indian Rock Park.

Northern Cardinal - this female was very excited (notice the raised crest) but she still wouldn't venture out in the open
