This is not my photo, but I will be hunting this bird down next week with my camera. This is a white crow seen in eastern VA. Any ideas on if this is just a mutation on the usual crows or if it is something really interesting? Thanks.

Looks like your everyday, average, run-of-the-mill leucistic crow to me.
New Year's Resolutions:
Get my lifelist to 300 (at the time of the original writing-293, currently-294)
Finally get Mountain Quail and Vesper Sparrow
Top my previous single year best (2011-253) I'm at 210 as of 6/11.

That's what I was thinking, but some locals were saying otherwise.

Which sighting, for me, would be anything but everyday, average, or run-of-the-mill!
