I found a Leucistic Common Redpoll this morning at the Yellow-Bellied Bog on Perry Road in Sax-Zim Bog … a most “uncommon redpoll!” Normally I do not like to take “feeder photographs”, but in this case it helps show you the difference between a redpoll with normal pigment, and one without, Leucism (Wikipedia link).

Thank you so much for posting these photos! I also had a leucistic common redpoll at my feeders! My sighting was in central Washington county on April 6th and it is a different bird ( It has less brown). Also, last year I had a leucistic yellow rump warbler in May! I wonder how common leucism is?
Thanks for sharing!
Oh, so happy you spotted that & shared it with us. What a standout!
