I had a white morph varied thrush in my yard the winter of 2020. The only
field guide I could find that mentioned that color morph was National
Geographic, stating “In a very rare variant morph, all orange color is
replaced by white.” Very cool bird to see. I’ve looked for it every winter
since, but haven’t seen it again.
