Leucistic House Finch (f), Cayucos Creek

While not a bit rare in the scheme of things, I do think it is always of interest when something odd shows up in our local bird world. Today I passed by Cayucos Creek parking lot and spotted a very pale bird moving in the grass along the creek. 

I posted a photo for your amazement/amusement along with 2 of the now famous Cassin's Sparrow taken today at  Estero Bluffs.  At least today, unlike yesterday, the CASP came out from the under the brushes during my visit long enough to get a few photos!. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kaarenp/
