By the way, this last sighting was 15 miles southwest of Traverse City, Michigan around 10 am.

Positively saw a pure white chickadee today at our suet feeder. Got a good look 360 degrees as he twisted in the breeze. Faintest of wing bars, totally white head and upperbody and breast, black eyes, not sure about beak or feet. Didn’t have my camera near but will from now on.

I have a 100% albino chickadee at my feeder/area for a few weeks now. eyes appear black except in some pictures, they are red, even without a flash. I am located about 60 miles W/NW of Green Bay, WI.

I meant to mention that I live in Falmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod.

Spring 2007 and Spring-Summer 2008. I have had an albino chickadee in my yard during those times. I was not sure what it was until it returned a couple of days ago with three normally marked fledgling chickadees begging and being fed. This albino has only black wing markings, nothing but white on the head, body and tail. Pale feet and beak.
