Hi all - We had one albinistic Common Grackle in our feeder flock today. I managed to take a few photos and upload them to eBird, fyi. It was a lovely pale salmon (cafe au lait?) color, and it showed a slightly darker cast to the head and upper body where normal grackles have their purple sheen. 

I'd appreciate hearing back if you have further thoughts, or can't access the list.

List here.

Also 6 Evening Grosbeaks briefly visited our treetops, but we didn't see them at the feeder. Also, my first of fall Am. Tree Sparrows arrived for the winter.

Best,
