White and piebald robins occur about 1 in 30k. We used to have a family down the block.

Birders and biologists are reportedly heading to Alabama after pictures of a yellow cardinal started to circulate online, AL.com reported.

...

He’s popular with humans. I wonder what the female cardinals think of him?

The yellow cardinal (Gubernatrix cristata) is a species of bird in the family Thraupidae. It is the only member of its genus, Gubernatrix.[2] Yellow cardinal Gubernatrix cristata -Argentina-8.jpg Conservation status Endangered (IUCN 3.1)[1] Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Aves Order: Passeriformes Family: Thraupidae Genus: Gubernatrix Lesson, 1837 Species: G. cristata Binomial name Gubernatrix cristata Vieillot, 1817

It is found in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. Its natural habitats are dry savanna, temperate shrubland, subtropical or tropical moist shrubland, and temperate grassland. It is threatened by habitat loss and from pet trade trappers.[3]

The term "yellow cardinal" or "yellow morph" may also describe a northern cardinal which is yellow because it lacks the usual enzyme which converts yellow pigments in food to the red pigments in the feathers of most of its species. Sightings are rare.[4]--wikipedia

I know where you can find plenty of yellow Cardinals.

In the Vatican. (Yes, Pope Francis. Whatever you say, Pope Francis...)

If I had seen that yellow cardinal around here, I would have thought that goldfinch kind of looks like a cardinal and then gone about my business. I doubt I would have paid any further attention to it.

Great find, Blam!

Wisconsin's State Bird is the American Robin, which is actually in the Warbler Family, hence the great singing voice. I sure hope he shows up soon to welcome SPRING to 'Sconny!
