    I have heard of this but have never had the privilege to see one, count yourself blessed and keep the camera handy just in case it comes back.

    No, I have never seen an albino cardinal, but if you want to see another on, you could look on the internet for areas that might have albino cardinals. You never know!

    No, but I have heard of white cardinals. It may not be an albino if it had the black mask. It could be leucistic.

    Also, cardinals fade to pink in captivity without proper nutrition, the same as flamingoes and scarlet ibises. However, I think the nutrional reasons for fading are different for cardinals (they eat seeds and berries, while flamingoes need diatoms in mud.)

    female cardinals are white. males are red.
