Abstract

Albino Rock Wren (Salpinctes obsoletus) photographed 28 May 1974 on a rocky serpentine slope at Laguna Lake Park, San Luis Obispo, California. First noted 17 December 1973 on the Morro Bay Christmas Bird Count, the bird subsequently established a territory. From its song and actions we presumed it to be a male. A second albino seen on the same slope the day of the Christmas count was not seen again.
