Insight is not a light bulb that goes off inside our heads.
It is a flickering candle that can easily be snuffed out.

Luke, The Partial Albino Phainopepla 1 comment
“Luke” (Sabino Canyon, March 8, 2018) — Image by kenne
Naturalists in Sabino Canyon have been photographing a partial albino phainopepla for at least eight years. He is known by the name “Luke” for leucistic, a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal. Over the years there has been a debate as to whether Luke’s condition is leucistic or a partial albino. I will leave it up to the experts.

These birds like high perches so as to be seen and check out their territory.
Or, is it they just like being seen. You take one position and I will take the other.

The Phainopepla is a common visitor to Sabino Canyon in the winter after spending summers on Mt. Lemmon. During a morning walk in the canyon, you can see them high on a tree branch chirping in the sunlight.

He in his shiny black tux —

Learn to separate the chatter of daily relationships from who you are;
soon you will realize that everything else is just “white noise.”

“The Phainopepla is the Johnny Appleseed of the mistletoe plant. As it feeds, its droppings help to spread the mistletoe seed to other host trees. It is the northern most bird of a group of tropical birds known as Silky Flycatchers. The Phainopepla has shiny looking feathers which gives it its name, which means “Shining Robe”. These birds are closely related to the Waxwings.” Source: Birding Information
