BOTD: American Crow
Photo: Tim Clifton
"Crows are thought to be among our most intelligent birds, and the success of the American Crow in adapting to civilization would seem to confirm this. Despite past attempts to exterminate them, crows are more common than ever in farmlands, towns, and even cities, and their distinctive caw! is a familiar sound over much of the continent. Sociable, especially when not nesting, crows may gather in communal roosts on winter nights, sometimes with thousands or even tens of thousands roosting in one grove."

An American crow with a bite of crab carapace encountered along the Oregon coast for this Scavenger Sunday.
Remember that Oregonians do not share crab.

Here is the clicking/croaking!
The first bit can barely be heard over the noise of the road. That is Belle up on a wire.
The second bit is much more clear, as there were no cars, and she was making this noise on the ground; on the asphalt. It is fascinating. Otis had just collected a much of peanuts, and she had none (she cached all of hers). Still not sure what exactly it means, though.
The last bit is a small grunt from Belle as she was walking beside Otis. Otis was looking for a suitable location to cache his nuts.
It's such an interesting noise!

I MADE A CROW FRIEND!!1! This one's pretty identifiable from their kinda ratty wings, so I've definitely had more than one encounter with them. (There's a few pairs of crows I see around my neighborhood) They usually wait till I have moved on before going for the goods, but the peanuts had barely hit the ground before they swooped down! Kept walking a bit before stopping to take a pic, JIC I spooked em. IM SO EXCITED! IM BEGINNING TO EARN THEIR TRUST!!
