An extremely rare white bald eagle was spotted in Oklahoma by a college student returning home for Thanksgiving last week.
Briley, who said he studies fish, range and wildlife management at Brigham Young University-Idaho, sent the images to a professor, who told him the bald eagle wasn’t albinistic, but leucistic.
Leucism is a genetic condition that prevents pigment from reaching birds’ feathers, causing discoloration, according to theBriley sent the images to ODWC, which shared them on its social media. He told the department exactly where he saw the eagle, but wished to keep it’s exact location a secret to the public.
“With a bird that rare – if everyone knows where it is – it’s going to attract a lot of people,” Briley said. “...mainly the concern is the safety of the animal.” The ODWC said it could not confirm whether the eagle was the same bird that was spotted last year along the Illinois River in eastern Oklahoma.
