this american crow is silver in appearance due to a genetic mutation known as leucism. frequently mistaken for albinism, which is a complete lack of melanin, leucistic animal retain some pigment; they may have lighter coloration overall, or they may have a ‘piebald’ appearance with lighter coloration on only some portions of the body. leucism can be detrimental to birds, as melanin is important for both eyesight and feather structure; leucistic birds may have poor vision and weak, easily breakable feathers. however, some birds make it to adulthood and lead full lives - it appears this individual even raised offspring.

that post about how waxwings are always photographed eating photogenic red berries ruined me. it’s all i can think about whenever i see another Waxwing Eating Berries photo. why do they only eat those berries why are they always conveniently in the berry tree in the first place do they never go anywhere else. do they have a sponsorship deal. what is Big Berry hiding from us
