Something new

I've never seen a white hummingbird.... till today:

Who knew?

Wow! I was thinking, this is way overexposed! Albino Hummer! I guess it can happen, nice catch for sure!

Thanks -- apparently, it's not actually albino (it would lack pigment in the eyes, too, in that case) -- it's a leucistic form of a ruby-throated hummingbird. There's actually some tan feathers around the throat of this bird. It was creating something of a minor sensation for the photographers at the park!
