    Last week i photographed this Leucistic Kiskadee and another Kiskadde building a nest. I will try to keep an eye on the nest to see how the chicks look like.

    Wow, that is a real interesting variant. It would seem that Kiskadees have at least two forms of melanin and only one pathway is disrupted in this individual. Do keep us posted on how the nest makes out and the appearance of the kids.
