My Wife spotted and GGOW with white feathers in both wings not far from our
house about 1 week ago (possibly the same bird found a few days earlier by
Chris Neri; I have not been able to relocate this bird). Karen Sussman and I saw
a completely white GGOW on Admiral Rd (788), 4 miles S of Zim Rd (27) on 14
November, but as far as I know, this bird has not been relocated (although this
same bird or another white GGOW was present a few miles S of this location in
May). Add this to the Melanistic GGOW found by Mark Alt on 27 November, and
this makes at least 4 birds with aberrant pigmentation (along with hundreds of
birds with normal coloration).
Pentti Alaja and Heimo Mikkola have apparently published information about
albinism in GGOW, but thus far I have unable to locate this information...
