Fine capture...have never seen a leucistic form like this, even the foot is pale!
Artist Reply: Thank you for the compliment. This is actually an albino cygnet, not a leucistic cygnet. Leucism only affects the feathers. This fella has his legs and beak both affected by the pigment loss.
This is my very first time seeing one of these as well. I wouldn't have even known what I was seeing if it had not had its siblings around.
