Nice shot of an interesting bird!

 

[Jeff15]

These birds are normally black all over, I had never seen one like this before..

 

[MitchP]

Nice capture!

 

[PJM]

Very nice capture. Is it actually called a blackbird?

 

[Jeff15]

Yes, it is the name of the bird...

 

[Photo Lady]

wow nice bird and great photo

 

[Space Face]

It's a partially leucistic blackbird. Not that uncommon and affects many species of birds.

 

[Jeff15]

I must have led a very sheltered life...

 

[Space Face]

Evidently.

Nor have I at least not in the UK. Nice shot.

We've had one in/around our driveway that was about 50% white. I've seen him several times, though of course he always disappears before I can grab a camera (even with a totally inappropriate lens).
Congratulations on getting a shot of your example @Jeff15 and not only that you got him looking towards you!
