The Crow from Six Feet Under
…
I have been watching Six Feet Under and the opening sequence includes a corvid. I thought it was a raven because it is much bigger than a normal crow and its feathers around the neck are shaggier, it also has a larger bill. So, I did some research and here is what I found out. [...]

Crows are moving in…
I read this news story and thought it was worth sharing… check it out! =)
(If you go to the original source page -here- there is a video too!)
It’s almost a scene out of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” in Rochester . Well, sort of. It’s not quite as scary.
Rochester resident Jason Buck says, “It’s just basically a big [...]

We’ve taken to [...]

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.

Are crows monogamous?
two crows
Originally uploaded by mikE~510
I regularly peruse crow photographs on flickr. Today I found this one. What an excellent photograph, don’t you think? Under the photograph the question was asked, “Are crows monogamous?” Are crows monogamous? Are ravens monogamous? I thought this would be a good post for today.
Yes, crows and ravens are monogamous. They [...]

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 [...]
