There was a partially-red partially-yellow one at the Muskegon Lake Nature Preserve this winter. I think I've seen about six yellowish ones ever around here, but none more yellow than this one! They're a little more common out where Andy lives in northern California.

I think I've read that the pigmentation is affected by the bird's diet. So there may be some unique food source that the bird is relying on.
