Unusual Bird: American robin with pied leucism
This robin was previously submitted incorrectly as a partial albino. It was drinking from our bird bath with a normal robin early in the morning of 11-5-2013. Stayed a few minutes then flew away. Have not seen it since.

Is this a condition as opposed to a different species?
Hi Barbara, Yes, this is indeed an American Robin with leucism. You can learn more about color variations on our Unusual Birds webpage here. Let us know if you have questions at feederwatch@cornell.edu
We’ve spied a leucistic American robin this spring in our yard. Head and back markings. I have photos and will take more
