meghann 295 Posted May 23 After encountering a swallow I had trouble IDing, until Liam helped me out, I figured a thread of these guys would be cool. The mutation has always fascinated me. I searched for a topic like it, but didn't find one. So, if one already exists, apologies. My first melanistic bird, a Northern Rough-winged Swallow. (Which incidentally, Liam had a similar bird in the same location six years ago. Is it the same bird, or an offspring, or just a coincidence? We'll never know!) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobinHood 732 Posted June 8 Does this Palm Warbler qualify or has there been an unfortunate incident? Couple of weeks ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure enough it was in my guide, I just hadn't noticed it (either in the guide or on the birds) - I think it was the one sided variation that caught my attention on this one. Thanks for the tip.
