Title: Odd Crow/Raven Parry sound
Post by: Napper on March 06, 2015, 06:16:48 PM

Spent almost 9 hours on the road today Sudbury  and back home. Long exhausting day.

On the way up we spotted a Crow/Raven with white stripes under its wings at the Timmies along hwy 400  in Parry Sound.
sorry used my cell cam, had to crop it a lot.

It had a white patch near its upper beak as well.

My, they have a lot of snow on the ground up that way, some of the rock cuts along the highway must have 4 plus feet of snow on them.

Looks like it may be a mutation.

Is it possible a Raven and Magpie mated?

It looks like a leucistic bird (patchy inconsistencies in pigmentation).

I remember as a kid...we used to have a crow with some white markings in our neighbourhood....lived for years...seemed like the leader of the flock....and then it just disappeared.

Apparently a few years back we had an African crow (the crow seen on the windex commercials) flying around in the Neustadt area...I think there are pix on the net somewhere of it.
