The first time I heard Barred Owl duetting was on a float trip on the Eleven Point River in the Missouri Ozarks. We were camped in the woods along the river, sitting around a campfire when the "hootenanny" started up. Really a memorable experience!

@Laura Gray fox was the most surprising for me too!

Yesterday (11/14)this Barred Owl stayed in my yard all day! A group of crows harassed him/her, jays screamed, even a Cooper's Hawk showed up, but he seemed unimpressed. After he had been there for some time, Am. Goldfinches, House Finches, and Eurasian Tree Sparrows returned. St. Louis Co. MO -
I have never heard anyone except birders say something nice about crows. Most people seem unaware of them. I sometimes have seen them doing acrbatics in the air. Fascinating birds and beautiful when the sun shines on their feathers.

I have never seen a serious fight between crows , although i have seen American crows drive away Fish crows . When I see crows flying high and being quiet , they often turn out o be Fish crows .

Crows now appear to b healthy in my area of sSt. Louis , MO. Some years ago, when WNV was around , I saw crows that looked very sick . sSome staggered, some allowed people to come too close , some appeared to be blind . I saw some carcasse. There were far fewer crows . At the same time I noticed that groups of Fish crows replaced them.
