this northern cardinal has the bright red hues the males of the species are known for, but lacks the signature black ‘mask’. it’s likely that this bird’s unique appearance is due to leucism (a partial lack of melanin) or a similar genetic mutation. leucism is not inherently harmful to birds, but can impact their lives in many ways; melanin strengthens feathers, so some birds with leucism may have more brittle feathers. additionally, some birds may have trouble finding a mate or suffer from increased attention from predators (particularly all-white birds); however, as this cardinal’s differences are fairly minor, he likely goes about life as any other cardinal would.

It's been a really wretched week, but the one legged cardinal who has been missing from the feeder for a while (I worry when I don't see him) has been here every single day. Because he's missing a leg, and he stole my heart, and his black markings kind of look like a beard, I named him Long Jon Silver after Stevenson's Pirate from Treasure Island.

This Cardi girl has been coming since early fall, and she has lost her tail a bit ago. It is good to see that it is finally growing back. Look at those tiny tail stubbies 🥹
