White "Black" Bird -- Comments Welcome!


Referring to the "albino starling" in yesterday's Wastewater post (below), Jerry Vis sends the following pictures.  He also noted that many of the birds around it in several of his images are Red-winged Blackbirds.  There were plenty of red-winged's, starlings, and possibly other blackbirds out there yesterday (grackles this time of year can be shorter-tailed due to molting), and this white bird seems to have too much tail to be a starling.

Thanks in advance for anyone else's comments about this bird or its companions.  And thanks for the photos, Jerry!
