Resumen

We report the occurrence of leucism in feather coloration in three species of birds in Baja California Sur: The Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), Eurasian Collared-Dove (Streptopelia decaocto) and Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). The documentation of such cases may help to understand the impact of aberrations and their variation between different groups of birds.
