Tony, I don't know how rare this is, but I sure have never seen an albino Raven. Just super looks, with my faves being #s 1 and 5.

Fascinating shots Tony. Great BIF shots ... I love the last shot showing in such wonderful detail, the wing structure... really neat.

Cool bird, I think it's actually leucistic though. The blue eye should be red if it was an albino.

Great find either way.

Tony...you gotta stop using bleach-liquids instead of water on your hummer bathing spot!
look what happeneds when you substitute water w chemicals dude
Kiddin' ya...really amazing find here, although a bit creepy I have to say
Local traditions say ravens are Angels of Death so I guess this guys here are Angels of Life
Anyway the If shots are super
1 thing i've noticed: the sky has a strong purple cast...maybe it's just my monitor

I wonder how Rare these are. I'm sure it occurs in ALL species, and I think I have heard that Albino's have a shorter life expectancy. How did you stumble on these Tony? Chance or did you hear of them via ?

I do like capture number 1 a lot. Very interesting look from an albino Raven with big blue eyes

Nice catch

Anthony

Tony -
What a great find. It must be very satisfying to be able to photograph birds that most of us would never come across.
Congratulations on an extraordinary find.

Would these birds be more correctly referred to as leucistic based on the presence of the blue eyes, as opposed to red?

Leucism effects the whole animal as well. Your thinking of pied, where its just patches of white.

The link you posted is of an albino and the eyes are pink. Albino is a bit more common than leucistic (genetically speaking).
