Leucism of a Common Grackle

February 01, 2015/ Brian Lewis

An unusual form of the Common Grackle visited my backyard today.
First time I have seen a Grackle with a white tale.  
An example of leucism:  “an abnormal plumage condition caused by a genetic mutation that prevents pigment, particularly melanin, from being properly deposited on a bird’s feathers”
