A Whiter Shade of Pale - A Rare Encounter with a Leucistic Anna's Hummingbird
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Phoo Chan at the University of California, Santa Cruz Arboretum, we are treated to an extraordinary sight - a leucistic Anna's Hummingbird. This elusive creature showcases an abnormal plumage condition known as leucism, resulting from a genetic mutation that inhibits pigment deposition on its feathers. The outcome is a mesmerizing white plumage with minimal discernible colors. The delicate beauty of this tiny bird in flight is truly enchanting. Against the backdrop of vibrant green foliage, it stands out like a shimmering jewel in nature's tapestry. Its ethereal appearance evokes awe and wonder among those fortunate enough to witness such rarity. This photograph serves as a testament to the diversity and marvels found within our natural world. Mallardg500 skillfully captures the grace and elegance of this unique hummingbird species while highlighting its distinctive coloration caused by leucism. Let us cherish these precious moments when nature surprises us with its remarkable creations. As we gaze upon this white hummer suspended mid-air, we are reminded of the intricate wonders that exist beyond our everyday perception.
