Socorro New Mexico Leucistic Great-tailed Grackle

On the morning we left Socorro for Santa Fe I spotted this leucistic grackle in a Walmart parking lot.  Since I started this web site with a leucistic Varied thrush I had to obtain a photo for the continuity.  I didn’t have my good camera at hand, the light was too bright and the bird was walking around a parking lot, but I did obtain a few photos.  This bird should be all dark, but as you can see, part of its tail is white.
