 At my feeders this morning was this black-capped
chickadee with an almost completely white tail.

 One tailfeather is normal and several others have a
little pigment near the tip. I suppose this must be a
leucistic bird, the first such bird I've ever seen in
person.

 Also present were 4 white-throated sparrows, 2 song
sparrows, 3 goldfinches, 1 junco, 2 purple finches, a
few evening grosbeaks, a yellow-rumped warbler, a
hermit thrush and 2 winter wrens.
