Sunday with the crows…
We often spend Sunday watching birds. This Sunday our crows were allowing us the rare opportunity of taking their photographs with a little help of a zoom lens. They were chasing the ducks and squirrels off the lawn—away from the peanuts we threw down there. They were not successful as you can see in the [...]

Caching Corvids
Did you know that the corvid-family of birds cache food for later — saving it in multiple spots for many months? They also watch other birds cache food and steal it–moving it for themselves. They are sneaky. They pay attention. This is interesting. There brain size to body ratio is relative to primates. They are [...]

Crow Cam Today =)
We put out peanuts without shells today for the first time. They were a hit. The crows like not having to open the shells and they attracted two more kinds of birds as well. =) Fun!
The crows seemed to be done for the day. The bowl was still about 1/4 full but they flew off. [...]

More Snow Crows…
Some of the crows on the snowy porch… they are being particularly loud, raucous and aggressive today. I think when it gets cold and food is scarce, they become a bit testy…

Christmas Crows…
As you know, if you’ve read the other posts, we feed the crows peanuts daily. This week has been snowy. Today, we got some excellent photographs of the crows. I thought I’d share them with you.

Crow Cam Update
The crows love their peanuts! =) I enjoy watching them and feeding them. They are clever creatures. They have taken to letting us know verbally when they want food, particularly if they can see or hear you. Here are some pictures from the last few feedings.
In this gallery you can see that we put peanuts [...]

Tiny Crow Camera Spies On Clever Birds
ScienceDaily (2007-10-10) — Researchers can now ‘hitch a ride’ with wild birds and witness their natural and undisturbed behaviour. Scientists developed miniaturised video cameras with integrated radio-tags that can be carried by wild, free-flying birds. Using this new ‘video-tracking’ technology, they spied on the behaviour of New Caledonian crows, a species renowned for its sophisticated [...]
