1. my neighbours don't complain a lot about American Crows because I live in Italy and I mainly see hooded crows, carrion crows and ravens in my area 2. I've seen them often in California and in Seattle. I hope to see many of them on my upcoming trip to Canada 3. that map tells me I have good chances of seeing them on my trip! 4. I am not sure which birds would benefit directly from crows. Maybe some smaller birds that are not part of a crow's diet? My local crows seem pretty good at mobbing other predators out of their area, I wonder if the american crows show the same behaviour

In the wild, I've seen (and heard!) various Eurasian Scops Owl this summer in southern Italy; an Barn Owl flying over my car in Scotland, nearby Loch Ness; and just last night I've (mostly) heard and (barely) seen a couple of Tawny Owls in the woods in northern Italy, where a veterinary working from a local birding group released a Little Owl back to the wild. The latter experience is what prompted me to join this course.
