NOTE: I was able to take some more photos of one of these crows (yes, I'm almost positive there's more than one.) The photos below the first one were taken by the Turnaround. Be sure to click on the link to the movie of this crow flying.
There's been a crow hanging out in the Eliason Harbor neighborhood for a while and lots of conjecture in the bird community about why it has white on it.
