Blizzard (White Raven)

Blizzard is a Leucistic raven found in the area and is not capable of surviving in the wild. Leucism is the partial loss of pigmentation, in this case melanin, the pigment that makes black and brown. Blizzard came to NIWRA in extremely poor condition, starving, and riddled with infection. We were able to nurse him back to health, but complications due to his leucism prevent him from being a suitable candidate for release. The lack of melanin leaves him susceptible to the harmful UV radiation from the sun, as well, his feathers and immune system are compromised. Blizzard will live at NIWRA as a permanent resident.
