The BBC reported on a rare white Blackbird in the Nottingham area in England. The bird has been a resident the last four years in Rufford Abbey County Park. Every year observers have watched the bird shed its black feathers for white feathers. The bird is leucistic, which means it has a genetic mutation that prevents color pigments from being deposited in the bird’s feathers.
