There were three fire engines/trucks here when I arrived. I think they were doing a drill. Their water rescue boat is located at the marina here.

I saw a few trees with leaves on them fallen down like this one. This year's storms have been hard on this walking space.

There was a group of American Wigeons swimming in one area while I was here. Closer to the shoreline, various seagulls searched for food.

There were at least two groups of Red-breasted Mergansers swimming around. A few times there were brief confrontations between some of the males.

These are some of the sights here. Someone brought their dog to play chase. Winter has been unusually mild, so there is still some green in the grass in spots. Most of the boats have been pulled from the water, but a few remain. I didn't take photos of it, but they cut down a bunch of trees for some unknown reason. I always saw birds going into those trees.

Partial Albino American Robin - Photograph

This is 4 of 6 posts of photographs that I took in the Ash Creek Open Space walking area in Fairfield, CT this past week.

I noticed white feathers on one of the American Robins that was among a group of them here. I thought it was unusual. When I got home and did an Internet search, I discovered this was a partial albino American Robin, which I didn't know existed until now! I was very fortunate to get photos of this unusual occurrence in the species!

The first photograph is my entry for the following:

Wild Bird Wednesday (my second entry this week)

I'd Rather Be Birding
Saturday's Critters

Updated Jan 17, 2016: It is possible this was a leucistic American Robin because now I'm not sure about the type (partial albino or leucistic). This American Robin had normal colored eyes (not pink), but it had white feathers in its chest (mottled red and white chest) and on its back. When it took flight, the back feathers were pure white. I need to return to this park to get more photos of this bird.

There was a group of American Robins here. I used to think they flew South for the Winter, but apparently they remain here along coastal Connecticut.
