Famous Albino Male Phainopepla Returns to Sabino Canyon

            We miss Ned Harris!

I am now sure that the famous male Sabino Canyon Albino Phainopepla has returned once again to his breeding grounds in the lower reaches of the canyon. I have forgotten exactly how many years he has returned. I believe it is five years or more. He is easy to spot with the rare white feathers in his head plume. The white feathers in his left wing are not rare.

Here is a 60 times zoomed and heavily cropped shot, looking to the south, at the Phainopepla during Ned Harris' Sabino Canyon Nature Walk of January 27th, 2016,
