Leucistic Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulous): This is a Bohemian waxwing with a mutation known as leucism, which causes partial loss of pigment (unlike albinism which is total loss). Bohemian Waxwing (Bombycilla garrulus) is a vagrant bird in India. Size: 18 cm. Although the Bohemian Waxwing occurs in the northern part of Czechoslovakia (Bohemia), it is actually so named for its wandering nature. In tame and gregarious flocks, Bohemian Waxwings inhabit open, coniferous-deciduous forests. As is typical for a waxwing, this species feeds heavily on fruit during all times of the year, though insects compose the bulk of the diet during warm months. Image credit: Arsi Ikonen
