I observed an unusual Robin pulling earthworms from the mud of Medina Dog Park,
Homestead and Jefferson Ave. in the city of Medina at 12:50pm today. At first
glance, the wings and tail appeared "shiny" or "reflectively light". Continuing
looks in the overcast light revealed white outer primary wing feathers, white
tail feathers, lighter-than-usual upper breast. When she(?) flew, the central
tail feathers were dark but the adjacent ones were white. The mantle may have
been light colored also. The white patterning was symmetrical and pleasant in
flight. The bird continued to feed with other Robins for the 15 minutes I was
there.
