Old Trail

It was a beautiful day to be out birding here in Old Trail. I ended up with only 20 avian species, but got an unusual bird.

Near the end of my hike, I saw a lone Rock Pigeon perched high up in a tree. I rarely see Rock Pigeons here, and this one appears to be a pure albino. While I couldn't get a photo of its eyes in good sunlight to see if they were pink, I couldn't see any coloring other than white features and pink skin.
