Did I find an IRL shiny? Is this leucism? It’s rare that I see a chickadee with white feathers in its cap.

    Thanks. You must get some black caps. You’re not too far south of me and I do believe they’ll span most of OH. I love the birds, but black caps are by far the most common, and while I love shooting them they can get a bit samey. I just back from a birding walk and all I spotted were black caps and some crows.
