This bird brought in by Mr Kinsey from
his aviary in Marin Co., Calif. It was trapped
about three years ago and has been caged ever
since. In captivity with each molt it
became gradually whiter until last fall
after the abnormal molt it was entirely white
with the exception of part of the primaries.
Then it started to regain pigmented
feathers with the spring molt. Just as
it was becoming interesting it died.
