We had a blackbird with a white flair in its wing. We have also seen crows like it and sparrows during the winter but they have dissapeared. Probably down the neck of a hawk

we have had a series of blackbirds with a white streak for the last 3 years, must be in the genes!!
there was an almost pure white one in the town park a few years ago, but a Bloody Cat got it!!(didn't eat it, just killed it!) >:(

My mum had black-and-white voles in her yard last year! It does make them terribly visible though - you can see why it never catches on! :/

I had a tabby cat, who grew a patch of white fur after she was spayed - where they'd shaved her side for the op, it grew back white. So some white streaks might result from injury rather than genes, though I imagine it's usually the latter.
