    I have never seen an unhealthy crow in my area, nor seen any impact of West Nile Virus. In general, the crows in my neighborhood seem to be quite friendly with one another, "talking" back and forth and flying around the street.

    I think that crows have an easier time breeding than other birds because they interact with each other so frequently. That gives them a higher chance to find a mate, and possibly find a nesting site with another crow.

    In the summer, we have a flock of 6 or 7 crows that hops up and down our street to forage for bugs. We live in the woods near the seacoast of NH, and we have grackles, cardinals, juncos, blackbirds, and turkeys that will often flock in our yard and street.

    I have a family of crows that lives on my street. In the summer, they will hop around on the pavement and find bugs, which they will then feed to each other. It is so interesting to watch them feed each other and allopreen!

    I never knew that people could have so many ways to identify one bird! I think it is amazing that you manage to catch these beautiful birds and, even after their tags have fallen off, have ways to recognize them years later!

    I am confident with my abilities to distinguish the American Crow from other birds that might share some of its traits. Tips: Look for additional colors/patterns. Some birds have shiny or different-looking feathers from the crow ( raven, grackle), or different colors ( blackbird, bronzed cowbird).

     3) I live near the NH sea coast. I have seen both crows and ravens, and I love seeing them both! I have always thought t was amazing how intelligent the crows are. I have noticed that the ravens tend to be more aggressive than the crows, often displacing other birds in my yard when they visit. The crows will often sit in the pine trees in my backyard until the ground under our bird feeders until it is clear- then they will go grab their food! That you for that amazing video- I've learned so much already!
