photog46 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I saw this crow in late January in Everglades National Park. I've never seen a crow with brown in the feathers. Is this just a routine pigment variation? Thanks for any information! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor L. Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 If I had to guess, I’d say it’s just a juvenile or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I think they're just old, worn feathers. When it molts, they'll be replaced by glossy black feathers. It doesn't seem to be any pigmentation issue, and the dark irises support the fact that this is not a very young individual... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
