Bird Outing, Late Winter at UVM 2020

This outing was conducted in the later part of the day during which time it was quite cold. This may have played a role in the number of birds seen. Of the birds observed the crow and the pigeon had differing wings and flight patterns. The wings of the crow taper at the tips less than those of the pigeon and have larger slots between the primary feathers. It being winter the cold weather is likely limiting the number of birds in the area. Better observations would occur during mid-day and on a warmer spell than the one of current.
