Moby Catbird at Celery Farm?
I have received two second-hand reports of a Great White Catbird sighting near Phair's Pond in the past two weeks.
The prevailing theory is that the bird, all white with pink legs and bill, is an albino. A lesser possibility is that it is a Turkish Angora Catbird. Whatever it is, we really need a photo of this Moby Catbird.
The Fyke Nature Association is offering to pay twenty-five cents in cold hard coinage to the first photographer who sends me a photo of this amazing catbird. I am willing to match that offer. I will also post imaginative Photo-shopped albino cat/birds as well if nothing better comes along.
So go to it!
I know of a photographer or two who will be out there Thursday morning, so please, no bright clothing.

I have to go with the Turkish Angora Catbird, since I have a TA cat Snowflake . They may be related!

Had great looks at it today. The eye is is dark so it’s not a pure albino–although it’s basically all-white. A very cool bird to see! p.s. I think photos will be forthcoming…stay tuned…
