While we were cycling up the Barton Highway this morning
near Gungahlin, we saw an Australian Raven with a pure white tail feather, the
full length of the feather being white. With the exception of this tail
feather, the rest of the bird was the normal glossy black. It flew across about
10m in front of us and landed on the median strip. It definitely wasn’t a
Pied Currawong – there was no white other than this one feather, and it
was much glossier than a currawong and had the raven’s throat ruff.
