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.

Phainopepla In Sabino Canyon (January 1, 2018) — Image by kenne
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.

But the secret sits in the middle, and knows.

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 —
Phainopeplas.
