Today at the Morse Preserve in Alton I found this unusual Scarlet Tanger. Attached are pictures in the eBird checklist and an interesting article by David Sibley about "yellow" Scarlet Tanagers:

Amazing individual! I enjoy seeing leucistic or oddly colored
birds. Very rare indeed.
This bird is somewhat reminiscent to an incredibly odd colored warbler I found last year in Concord. A yellow warbler that is reminiscent of a Prothonotary Warbler, but which I believe is a Prairie Warbler:

I looked up the Sibley article, which made me wonder about the genetics of this. Birdsoftheworld.org includes this information: "Feathers adventitiously replaced by all age/sex groups during summer can be yellow (Pyle Pyle 1997d, Pyle 1997c)." So, males that have a mutation that messes with the timing of the appearance of yellow feathers may end up occuring in the spring instead of during the summer.
