Albino Blackbird
An interesting bird in the Waio-< eka district has been reported to the "News" office Opotiki by Mr Bruce Gaskill. The bird lias snowwhite feathers without the slightest trace of the usual brown or black. The bird is usually to be seen in the vicinity of Mr C. Clark's farm at Waioeka and has attracted a good deal of attention. No objection to the unusual colour is made by the other blackbirds, which are on the best of terms wi'th the ajfiiho.
