Man I Love Birds

A page about birds. I take bird requests for bird info or bird of the week. Just let me know if you have a request. I can also attempt to identify birds for you, although my knowledge is limited.

a leucistic cedar waxwing was photographed by cory elowe in delta, michigan. leucism is a genetic mutation similar to albinism, but differs in that leucism is only a partial reduction in pigmentation, while albinism is a complete lack of melanin. some faint coloration and yellow markings are still visible on this leucistic bird; a typical cedar waxwing is brown overall with distinctive red and yellow markings, and a distinct black mask.

Speaking of gay ducks that reminded me of when me and one of my partners (#mypolycule) went to the park for a hangout before we started actually dating and we saw a group of mallards. The group consisted of one female and three males. They were all hanging out and being chill UNTIL!!! the female and two of the males pushed the third one out. Then the girl and her two boyfriends continued about their day together. So we saw duck polycule drama firsthand.

That was a tough day for us all. I have nothing to add... here are 3 of my favorite ducks.

Yeah okay there are like 11 species of heron native to the USA and yes fine I’ve only managed to spot 10 of those species. You might think I’m bitter about that one species evading me but I’m not. I’m actually the Least Bittern person about it in the entire world
