There are many trees and shrubs there and in the morning it is generally quiet.
I had heard reports of a Leucistic (Partial albino) American Robin being present there for some weeks and until now had not had a chance to see it.
Luckily for me, after an hour of searching the grounds I located it hopping along the ground and behaving just like any other Robin does, looking for worms and skulking about among the leaf litter.
Other birds seen at the park that morning consisted of American Goldfinch , Ruby-crowned Kinglet and Common Grackle.
Here are some photos...

Wow - that's a sight to behold. Never saw one like that before!
Hope you took plenty of shots - who knows if ever going to see such a rarity again!
Cheers, Klaus
Thanks Klaus .You certainly don't see too many of those !
How great you were able to capture that rare albino Robin - I found him beautiful.
Those are some unique shots, you've certainly captured something I've never seen before.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing that.
Many thanks guys.We had a Leucistic House Finch in our yard one Winter too.
The pure Albinos of course are completely White with red eyes.
Wow. Those are just wonderful!
Terrific shots! Really good spotting! A leucistic squirrel ran out in front of my car last week. Fortunately it made it across the road okay, but what a startling sight to see such a pure white critter.
Thanks guys, yes, they sure make you look twice :-)
Fascinating pictures! Especially the robin. Last weekend we saw an all white squirrel cross the highway in front of our car. No pictures, but it's etched in my memory.
