American Crow
What did the crow use to break into a car?
A Crowbar.
Interesting Fact: American Crows congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roosts. These roosts can be of a few hundred up to two million crows. Some roosts have been forming in the same general area for well over 100 years. In the last few decades some of these roosts have moved into urban areas where the noise and mess cause conflicts with people. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Crow/lifehistory )
Crow roots are a problem for cities in central New York. Interesting portrait of an, apparently, stressed individual.

I didn’t know about their sleeping/ roosting habits. I did know a large group of crows is called a murder … maybe the noise has cawsed … spelling intended … some to consider murder !!! jan
Hehehe. I would not be able to take that sound. I would yell out “bloody murder”. Thank you very much for stopping by and I am glad to share the information that I come across. Happy Blogging! 🙂

Large groups of crows, called “murders” gather at the edges of our timber every Spring and Fall. They are SUPER noisy, but fun to watch as they all move as one. This lasts a few days to a week, and they’re gone.
I am sure this is quite a sight to see, the noise I’m sure it is definitely annoying. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your story with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂
I do not care where the crows winter, as long as it is not around here. They have totally driven our robins away. Always happy when the Merlin Falcon or the Blue Jays give them a chase. At least they are sleeping in a bit later now. I have not been woken by the 5:30 crow for a few weeks now. Cheers. Allan
Oh wow I would be annoyed with them as well. Hopefully more Blue Jays and Falcon move in so they can chase them away. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your story with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂
No, you didn’t!
Hehehe but I did. Thank you very much for stopping by and Happy Blogging! 🙂
