What a great day we had for the count today. Chris Knoll and I heard
or saw the following birds. Also thanks to Ethan Kistler for a few
additions. By far the neatest bird was an albino junco on the Wildlife
Beach. White bird, very slight gray tinge to the wings, pink bill.
The eye appeared dark but was pinkish when seen through the scope. So
it might not have been a pure albino, but was a very striking bird!
