Re: [Maine-birds] Crow with white patch on wings

Crows can show white patches, especially in the wings. It is a low percentage. Someone who has studied crows extensively is Kevin McGowan at Cornell. He has a FAQs page on crows, and this link will take you to the one on white in crows.

http://www.birds.cornell.edu/crows/whitecrows.htm

Link at the bottom of that page will take you back to the FAQ or main crow page. Kevin's work has become a standard reference on the species (mostly American, eastern populations, but also Fish Crow).

Has anyone else seen a crow with a white patch on the wings in the Cundys Harbor area? Or are we dreaming? Charlie Hewson
