Wow what a sight! These photos of a leucistic Canada goose, taken on the upper Grand River, were sent in to us. Leucism, like albinism, is caused by a genetic mutation. But unlike albinism, leucistic cells are able to produce some pigment. One of our biologists, who is also an avid birder, said "I have watched and counted tens of thousands of Canada geese, but I've never seen a bird like this. It's quite stunning!"
