Birder Alert #2

Post by Polly »

Hi, Fellow Birders!

Guess what has been coming to my feeder the past few days?? An albino blue jay!!! Pure white and lovely to watch. It's the first albino bird I have ever seen.

I read that the native Americans consider this to be a good omen.

Love,

Polly

That is a great score for a birder. Have only seen 2 albino birds in all my years of birding and never a "Blue" Jay. Please try to post a picture if you can.

Congrats! Maggie

there is a web site (i cant get to it via work compauter) it has the meanings relative to if you see a type of bird and if it sings etc. It is a bit similar to the meaning if these birds appear in your dream

from memory the information on this website was based on american indian principles.

Well, I got a photo but will have to learn how to send it (new computer, need transfer new cable). In reading some more, it may be leucistic instead of albino - there are some faint black streaks around the face, which makes it leucistic. Will try to post it.
