Nice! I've never seen a robin of that color before.

Must admit, I was skeptical when opening this thread, but that certianly looks like a robin to me. Never seen one like that before.
I've seen a couple of white/grey phase turkeys, but I've seen a lot more robins than turkeys. Thanks for sharing this. I had no idea they existed.

The one at HH a couple weeks ago was probably more of a gray phase. I was in the car while my buddy was taking some pictures of the sports fields, and the bird immediately caught my eye from 70 yards away. It was in the middle of a bunch of other robins, but sure stuck out. Too far to get a good pic with my phone, and my buddy couldn't hear what I was yelling to him over the wind.
