Passeriform

American Robin - Turdus migratorius
58 Central Street, West Bolyston, MA.
This is a robin that my grandfather found in his yard. It's leucistic, which is a reduction in skin pigment.

    There is another term for this also. Because of its mottled appearance, its called Piebald. The name of our national symbol actually is a shortened version of this term.
