Albinism is a genetic mutation that prevents the body from producing the pigment melanin
In this photo, the young Albino Tree Swallow is being fed by the parent. Notice the young bird's red eye, pinkish bill and legs. Both parents have normal coloration.
I'm thrilled that I'd managed to capture some record shots of the feeding action. It might take quite a while before another such opportunity would come my way.
