Nice Eagle and Osprey.....I always love the raptors:)

This very unusual bird showed up today in my backyard setup. I believe it to be a female Northern Cardinal with some type of genetic variation. Perhaps partially leucistic or albino. I have never seen anything like it. If anyone knows for sure what it is please tell me:)

I think you had it right.
Go to this website, it discusses a variation just like you pictured.

This is an older picture.
Thought I would give it a try in LR5 to see if it would come out better.

Does it look a bit to cool, need to be warmed a bit?

Nice timing.
