Fifteen-year-old photographer Marlin Shank was fortunate enough to capture several images of a rare albino ruby-throated hummingbird while in a park in Staunton , Va
Very high quality photographs for such a fleeting subject.
I'd always thought that albinos had red eyes, but perhaps that is not always so.

A true albino does always have red eyes, and if it's not a true albino it's a healthier bird. Pigment in the eyes is protective.
