Rare Leucistic Northern Cardinal - Female
This is the first time I have ever seen a White Cardinal and she is a beauty! I am especially fond of her cute eyebrows and matching tuft. She has a male partner who is bright red. I hope to get a photo of the two of them together.
Leucism is a genetic condition that causes a partial loss of pigmentation. This results in areas of white, pale, or patchy coloration.
