Two Albino English Sparrows
In the museum collection of the Colorado State Agricultural College are two specimens of albino English Sparrows (Passer domesticus). One was taken at Fort Collins, June 16, 1915, the other at Las Animas, January 5, 1917. Both are males, the Fort Collins specimen being an immature bird. Both birds are pure white, none of the feathers showing any trace of the normal colors; eyes are pink, and bills, legs and feet, flesh-color.
