For the third time in about a week I have seen what I am taking to be an aberrant crow near the West Gardiner travel plaza off of I-295. It is noticeably smaller and shorter-winged (flaps twice as fast as the crows it is with) than the typical American Crows it consorts with and it shows a thin white stripe at the base of the flight feathers so that it looks like it has a thin light stripe down the center of the wing when flying. A few months ago we caught a quick look at a crow with a similar wing pattern down in Yarmouth as we were driving south on I-295. Wonder if this is the same bird or if multiple birds are showing up like this?
Anyone else seen this bird?
