'Headman Jankro'

John-Crow - "Turkey vulture or black vulture. A large carrion feeding bird of prey with a turkey-like bald red or black head." These birds are very common in Jamaica and Jamaicans refer to them as 'Jankro'. There is an Albino John-Crow which is extremely rare - so rare that many Jamaicans question their existence because few people have ever seen one. In local folk-lore, they are called 'Headman Jankro' or 'Parson Jankro'. I was lucky to get these captures.
