Once-In-A-Lifetime Rare White Cardinal Spotted In Backyard

The rare white bird looks that way due to a rare condition called leucism which affects the pigmentation on its feathers. Similar to albinism but not as extreme. There is like a one in 1,800 chance of one existing, Scott added. Some of them maybe just have one little spot and some of them have even more white on them than the one I photographed.
