Rare White Ravens Spotted In Western Canada
Vancouver, B.C., photographer Mike Yip first saw a pair of white ravens in 2007 when a farmer called him. They were too far away to get good photos, but he was able to get close-up photos the following year. In 2011, he got photos of a young white raven and its 3 black siblings.
  Recently there have been reports of white raven sightings in Saskatchewan, which made headlines in Canadian newspapers.
  Bird experts say albino ravens are very rare, partly because their color makes it more difficult for them to hide from predators.
