Crippled up as a bicycling victim of a hit-and-run, I got really into
seeing birds, hearing, watching, & studying them, surveying them, and
helping a friend in his studies of one species. After a dozen years, a
couple years ago, I was finally able to ride my bike again without too much
pain. Now I love the combination of bicycling and bird watching and
listening. Every ride offers treats. Today's most notable was a black and
white crow. I've never seen one like it before. I stopped and took phone
photos in the high 90's heat of late afternoon with salt sweat stinging and
blurring my eyes. The photos are poor, but show a neato bird. I'll review
my front-facing action camera files to see whether it captured footage of
it too.
>From my simple human point of view, it seemed to get along just peachily
with all the other crows.
Good Birding,
Please ALWAYS practice ethical bird watching:

Even when you're not aware you too are being observed.
