Leucistic House Finch (Carpodacus mexicanus), Cave Creek Recreation Area, Maricopa County

To see the bird, go to the entry station (at the end of 32nd St., north of Carefree Hwy), and ask for directions to the bird viewing area (site 9) in the campground. Park has a $6.00 per vehicle entry fee.  The bird was photographed by Pierre Deviche on 21 December 2008.
