I have spotted a white raven by the Headquarters Creek in the Comox Valley yesterday. There have been a few sightings of white ravens on Vancouver Island in recent years, mostly in the Qualicum area but none in the Comox Valley to my knowledge.

KTOO · Anchorage’s white raven has become a local legendSince October of last year, Anchorage has been visited by a rare, feathered celebrity — a white raven, which appears to have taken up residence in the Spenard neighborhood.
Michelle Hanson has sure gotten some awesome shots of the white raven this winter. Check out this one. Flying ballet perhaps? #Alaska #WhiteRaven #BirdsOfAlaska

The white raven holds special meaning for Alaska Native people, according to Rosita Worl, a Tlingit anthropologist and president of the Sealaska Heritage Institute.
“There is definite excitement in the Native community throughout Alaska in seeing White Raven, reconfirming for Native Peoples Raven’s trickster nature and his transformation capabilities,” Worl said in an email.
Oral tradition holds that Raven was white to begin with, “but through his antics he was transformed into a Black Raven,” Worl said.
“Seeing White Raven today confirms both his trickster and culture hero nature, bringing benefits to the human world — including laughter and humor.” Photos by Marc Lester of the Anchorage Daily News #WhiteRaven #CelebrityStatus #AnchorageAlaska
