Leucism

Leucism : a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white,

pale, or patchy coloration of the skin, hair, feathers, scales or cuticle, but not the eyes. (Wikipedia)

As in this Northwestern Crow.

It seems strange to see a crow that is not black.

That is a very different looking crow, not altogether unappealing. (Thanks for your opinion on the lens - I took it out and practiced more with it today. Altogether lots of fun. And I'm looking forward to seeing more ceramics.)

A retired life in Powell River, my home for over 40 years. Photos of people, events, scenery, birds, floral and whatever else happens to catch my eye between Saltery Bay and Lund. The photos will be a mix of current photos and those pulled from my ever growing archive, but all will be taken by myself. While Powell River is home, I do occasionally leave town, and that also will be reflected here.

Unfortunately I'm dealing with a few issues that require me to at least temporarily slow down on the photography and the blogging. The joys of getting old!

So I'll still post, but definitely a bit erratically.

And please note, all my posted photos are under copyright.
