Last week a friend of mine saw an unusual-looking crow at Norris Lake near the Andersonville boat dock. I'm curious if anyone has seen similar crows or has an explanation for this bird's appearance. His description: "It was with other crows. It was not white but a heavily creamed coffee color. Pale brown? Ah, sandy colored. Beak appear to be brown as well. It was raining. To me the feathers appeared to brown leading into white to give it sort of the look of the underbelly of a hawk."
