Dark morph. Saw it soaked and washed up, so I gently carried it to dry sand. Watched it for hours and it appeared very weak. After the sun set I decided to take the little guy to a local rescue. Hopefully there, the dude can regain strength.
It's probably not HPAI, and it's likely something like starvation, or plastic intake. Hopefully the little guy will be able to get fattened up at the rescue and rereleased soon.

I was just going out to feed the chickens when I see a wierd Turkey Vulture flying over the a tree. I look closer and recognize the wing shapes. I call out everyone and rush to grab the camera. From this pic you can just see the white head and tail, and very distinctive wing shape. It didn't stay for long, and soon after it left it started to rain hard!

This one is so elusive I almost never get him. The first time a saw it it took down a collard dove. He disappears now and then and suddenly shows up, like the merlin I have yet to snap a photo of.

I was just walking across the yard when I came across this guy. It was cloudy so I thought I was seeing things When i glimpsed the white head, but when I snapped a picture I noticed it was indeed a leucistic robin. This is my first one, though I know they aren't rare, and I am so excited about it!
