I took my first photo Oct 1 2023 and viewed the same bird regularly though not photographing it till spring 2024 when I wondered whether I would see the bird again or it might molt the feathers or the bird might be killed or move away. My wife said she saw it again just this past week but today I saw and photographed it again submitting it to iNat with its Sep 17, 2024 URL given above.
This now presents the possibility that the feathers may have grown anew from stem cells of two patches of somatic crossover cells that are now albino. I have not been able so far to find similar observations in the albino literature.
