-I was surprised by the age of the birds. I've worked with banding birds before so I am familiar with the process. I also learned where to look for their nests.
-I struggled more with the flight pictures. If available in the photo I used the eye color and beak to distinguish. In nature I would listen for their specific calls.
- I would share with my neighbors the small percentage of next robberies due to Crows.
-I live in Western NY and have seen both Ravens and Crows. I witnessed Crows this summer going "crazy" over the arrival of a large hawk in our wooded backyard. They certainly let the entire neighborhood know there was a predator nearby.
-I'll be on the lookout for a nest!
