We have a leucistic #bird, I think it’s a sparrow or maybe a house finch, that’s been coming to our backyard feeder the last week or so. Probably the same one that was here a few months ago. I wanted to try to get a better photo of it with my big camera & lens, and today I finally had the chance but as soon as I started shooting - this guy shows up and starts making a spectacle of himself. And the white bird flew away.#BackYardWildlife #squirrel #SquirrelsOfMastodon #photography #birds #nature

@madrobin possibly, though from what I see on-line there aren’t many Grosbeaks that live or pass through the area of SE TX where I live. We do have a lot of House Finches and Sparrows so I think it’s most likely one of those.

@Trilobyter That beak looks like a finch-beak.Love the squirrel!We had one here in fall, before we set up the feeder, and we haven't seen it since, sadly.
