[Bristol-Birds] Unusual Am. Crow

Feb 6, 2008 while driving on I-26 through Johnson City, TN I saw a crow fly from a light pole that had translucent primaries and secondaries. At first glance they appeared white but I realized that I was seeing dark lines created by the overlap of each feather. Last week I saw a Turkey Vulture that had what appeared as "whitish" tertials.
