Description
A leucistic Anna's hummingbird resting on a perch for a break in between her hunting for sweet nectar at the University of California, Santa Cruz Arboretum. Leucism is an abnormal plumage condition caused by a genetic mutation that prevents pigment from being deposited on a bird's feathers resulting in overall white plumage with little or no color discernable.
