This world is a beautiful, amazing place.  wallacegardens: The White Ravens of Qualicum Beach, Vancouver. The birds are said not to be “albino,” but “leucistic,” a genetic defect resulting in birds that lack normal pigmentation. (“Albinism” is a result of the reduction of melanin.) They first appeared in Vancouver about 10 years ago, which is now known as the “White Raven Capital of the World.”    A lovely site indeed. More photos of the Vancouver Island birds by Mike Yip.
