After this lesson, I am going to actively look in my neighborhood for a family of crows. (Also, I am delighted to have a new word in my vocabulary: allopreening!)

Yes! That was a fascinating tidbit!
-
I thought that was interesting, too - and I kept wondering if the birds are bothered by the one on their wings.

I am not sure I found anything surprising about their methods. Wait, I take that back - I thought it was surprising that the research teams have already gone through all of the possible letter / number combinations TWICE. What was interesting to me was learning how to identify crows' nests and that baby crows have blue eyes.

I noticed that, too, but I wasn't sure if that was always the case.

Ooh, I think suggesting that your neighbor set up a camera to observe is a GREAT idea!

Your neighbor is complaining about the American Crows killing all the songbird nestlings. What would you say to him/her? I would try to share the graphic that clearly indicates the most common nestling predators (which I found to be very interesting). I am not sure if I have ever heard that crows were responsible for killing baby birds; if you were to ask me before Lesson 1 what I knew (or thought I knew) about crows, I would've said that they were noisy. Now that I have completed Lesson 1, I have already learned so much:
- Some crows use tools.
- Ravens are the "pointy all over" birds.
- What my mom keeps calling grackles are probably not.
