A heavily cropped photo of the white black phoebe that Bob had posted a different photo of earlier. Black phoebes are members of the flycatcher family and tend to sit on a perch and dart out after a passing flying insect to feed on it and then return to the perch. They usually have white bellies and are black everywhere else. The lack of pigment in the feathers while the eyes still have color means that this isn't albinism, but another condition called leucism, pronounced like "leukism." This condition means the body or feathers aren't producing pigment while the eyes or the bill can have pigment. Pigeons often exhibit this feature. We've seen many examples of white or blotchy white pigeons that are showing this same condition.
This photo was taken in January 2018, and Bob has not seen it so far in 2019.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
