A bird keeps returning to our feeder that we can't identify. We're wondering if it's some sort of genetic variation. If you're a bird enthusiast and can enlighten us, we'd love to know what it is.
It looks basically the same as the other bird (sparrows?) so my guess would be that it is the same type of bird but with a genetic mutation in its coloring.
Loving and learning on a couple acres in the country with my hubby and
BigSis (22),
Lizzi (17),
Anakin (16),
‘LilDude (9, born in Korea)...and GG (6, born in China.)
Rich MOMents = never a dull MOMent!
We garden, live a frugal life, cook kid-friendly meals (usually gluten-free), eat with the season, homeschool & public school, grow through adoption and work to remember that we are part of God's global community.

partial albino sparrow?
In case anyone is interested... we sent an inquiry with photos to the local audubon society. The reply:
"Certainly an interesting bird. I believe it is a partial albino Dark-eyed Junco."
