Behaviour
A shifting crowd of about seven birds, checking out the tourists and sometimes nibbling at snowballs that tourists had thrown. Originally counted 5, but photos showed 5 different bands plus at least one definitely bare-legged (and I seem to recall seeing two bare-legged birds at once). Clarence was photographed with a dirty sprig of leaves in his beak.
