Here's the description, which I failed to include in the original

It's a totally white bird, with the exception of pink on the scapulars.  It has 
a black bill, similar to that of the red-winged blackbird, black eyes and pink 
legs.

I was at Walden Ponds and Sawhill Ponds in Boulder County this morning (April 
8th).  I saw an unusual bird, what appears to be an Albino Red-winged 
blackbird.   I saw it at approximately 8:00am, landing in a cottonwood tree on 
the south side of the Sawhill pond #5;  it flew north over the pond towards the 
aspen trees.   I was not able to locate it later.

I have a picture which I can mail to anyone interested.   I've posted it on 
Colorado Birders:

Sorry, I don't have a Flickr account to post it there.

I'm interested to hear what others think it might be...
