NestWatcher Finds Albino Tree Swallow

NestWatcher Edie Wieder found an albino nestling Tree Swallow in a nest box in Needham, Massachusetts. Because Tree Swallows often incorporate white feathers into their nests, you could almost overlook this all-white bird among the nest materials.

Monitoring nests provides a great opportunity to discover and learn, no matter how many years you’ve been involved, but a sighting this rare might come only once in a NestWatcher’s lifetime. Read about this rare discovery in our latest blog post.
