Until I started spending some time in Juanita Bay with other photographers and bird watchers, I had never heard the word leucistic.  There is a leucistic sparrow that hangs out in the bay and is popular with the locals.  Apparently, this is a creature with light pigmentation.  It is not an albino but it has a lot of white in it.  This sparrow was hanging around in some of the trees near the trail as I walked by.  I figured it would rapidly disappear when I stopped but it wasn’t terribly bothered by me and was far more interested in whatever it was eating.  It is a rather interesting looking bird.
