Bangor resident Hillary Gocze was on her typical walk through Mount Hope Cemetery on Tuesday when she spotted a highly unusual bird in the trees — a big departure from the typical crows and Canada geese she sees while visiting Bangor’s historic garden cemetery.

Only the crow’s head was black; the rest was snowy white.
