Leucistic Cardinal

We like to feed the birds on our back deck in the winter.  We have big glass doors so we can watch them as they feed.  A couple of weeks ago we saw this little fellow come up.  This is a leucistic cardinal, a cardinal with abnormal pigmentation. It’s not sick, it just has differently colored plumage.

Since then, we've seen it several more times since then, and today I was lucky enough to get a video of it.Pretty neat, huh?
