cimoreneOMG, there was just a whole murder of hooded crows in our backyard, at least 20-30 of them! They're so BIG up close!
I'm used to magpies being the highlight of my backyard bird observations and watching the crows from far away. This is probably the murder that is often seen in our neighborhood, but either on the wing or very high up in the trees. All last year I never saw them at the feeder! There was birdseed scattered in the grass though, and a tallow feeder hanging in the tree, which perhaps made it possible for more of them to find stuff at the same time. Wow!!
... I yelled for Wax to look and they had all left by the time she went to the window though. That's a lot speedier than the mixed flocks of tits and other little songbirds I'm used to watching.
