Albino teal
 

A buddy of mine who hunts in klondike just sent me a piture of an albino teal his dad shot this morning at there lease. Will post picture when i get off this afternoon. He also said that there's thousands of new birds down.

I had spotted an albino about three days before teal opened. Aint seen it again since . Sure would have been nice to put her on the wall..

I can't wait to see this!!

Damn!!! That's awesome. Can't wait to see it also!!

Poor white thing didn't have a chance! I bet it stuck out like a neon light. Most of us may never see an albino, much less kill one. Yes, we are jealous! lol

Pics!

Gonna go ahead and say its a leucistic not albino without having seen pics but very very cool to get one:grinpimp:

pictures please i want to see this thing

He couldn't get it off his phone so he sent it to me.......

Thanks homie that things pretty ain't it?

Hell yeah, it would be going on the wall

Killed this morning in klondike

it is he said

Sweeeeeeet!!

Def a wall hanger .

Pretty cool.

i miss duck hunting now:cry: lol

wow that is a beautiful bird

What is the difference??

It's a drake and an unusual looking one at that. Defenitely needs to end up on the wall.

Man that is awesome!

Head shot

That duck is leucistic, meaning reduced pigment, albinos lack pigment all together would be snow white and have a pink eye. True albinos are extremely rare, leucisim is not at all common, but much more common that albinism. Still very rare to actually shoot one:)

I would definitely put it on the wall! Awesome trophy

One other thing while we are talking! You often here about 'black' squirrels, there are 2 kinds of black squirrels - melanistic and agouti. Melanistic are jet black and more rare, whereas an agouti is one that is overall dark but the hair has bands of different colors in it. They seem to be getting more common too, not sure what is going on there, maybe global warming? or it could be Bush's fault!

That pic was in the advertiser last year

no it wasn't i got it in a text message yesterday morning from a good freind of mine. His dad killed it yesterday morning.

his name is donald lemaire sr. If you would like dink i can give you his number and you can ask him personally. I'm sure he would be glad to let you see it in person if it makes you feel better.

Didn't mean to get ya feathers ruffled.......guy im in the blind win said he saw it in thepaper last year.....I phrased my post incorectly

it's all good dog. How ya'll doing puting the smackdown on some this morning?

Leucism, or leukism, is an abnormal plumage condition caused by a genetic mutation that prevents pigment, particularly melanin, from being properly deposited on a bird’s feathers. As a result, the birds do not have the normal, classic plumage colors listed in field guides, and instead the plumage have several color changes, including:

Gators are eating my birds......not sure what to do about it yet......only recovered 1 today, and the breast is out of it......im not happy!!

Sounds like you need some gator tags.
