Whether you're a seasoned birdwatcher, wildlife rehabilitator, aspiring biologist, or simply fascinated by the rare and beautiful, this book offers an in-depth exploration of the biology, behavior, symbolism, and real-world sightings of these ghostly white corvids. From their stark white plumage and red or pink eyes to their remarkable intelligence and strong family bonds, albino crows captivate the imagination and stir the soul.

With over fifteen engaging chapters, this book blends hard science, storytelling, and passionate advocacy to give you a well-rounded understanding of albino crows-creatures that embody both fragility and resilience.
