Comment on The Enigma of the American Crow by Peggy Herron

I live in Brooklyn,NY. I noticed the Crows and Seagulls both took a hit from the West Nile virus but this winter I have seen a Crow family return to our neighborhood and I am happy to see them. I have watched them call their whole clan of twenty birds to Gramercy park to carry on about a hawk in the Park only to have the hawk ignore them as they screamed. I have also seen a mother crow desperately try to get her chick back up in the parks trees. The whole family screamed for hours trying to get the chick to fly . We left some raw hamburger for him. I had to leave the park and never found out his he survived . The park is locked so he had some safety.
I am very pleased to see them return and hope they remain.

I am so happy to win and cannot wait to receive my new birdfeeder. I love birds. I love watching for new visitors and photographing them. It’s a hobby, not a profession and it gives me pleasure as someone who is home-bound a lot due to illness. Thank you, Backyard Chirper! You and all the voters really made my day (week, month!!)

Oh How I wish all could learn from these simpler day’s. We all could should take a cue from Mother Nature!

Interesting question Jeanine. I’m not 100% sure about that, but I don’t think there is a specific time of day when she will actually lay them. I’ll see what other information I can find on the subject.

Good to hear Beverly. I’m glad you found a solution to the small perch problem.

I am a new resident of NC. A year ago, I bought a large 3 tube feeder! I placed a stick thru the perches so larger birds could land on the feeder! It worked! Had Cardinals & in the Spring, had lots of edgings. I also have a suet feeder & they learned to “hang on”!

Another question…is there a specific time of day when she’ll lay her eggs?
