ghost bird
just in time for Halloween!!
As I was walking along the path along the trail next to the Bunker Pond down near the lighthouse in Cape May, I came across a bunch of very active yellow rumps flitting back and forth in the bushes, and stood for about 15 minutes trying to get some pictures of these fast, elusive little birds.
Wasn't long before I noticed this guy in the mix....he was a real "stand out"!
A leucistic Yellow-rumped Warbler!
Very cool to see!
