The American Crow is a large, black bird that lives all over America. Although it is noisy and sometimes annoying, the American Crow is extremely intelligent and can even mimic human voices! Crows do not usually come to bird feeders, but live in almost any habitat in almost every part of the United States, so it should be fairly easy for you to find this bird. If you want to learn more about this bird, check out the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's description of it: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Crow/id Here are some American crow pics: Submissions are now closed here!
Hi, everyone! It's Rose here with a Birder Tip for you. What kind of bird seed do you use? Is it a mix of different seeds that claims to have all your backyard bird's favorites? Well, if it is, know that most of the seeds in it are probably kinds that birds don't eat very often or like very much. When feeding birds, use Black Oil Sunflower seed. Various studies have proven that it attracts the most birds to your yard! -Rose

We received this great observation yesterday from Cameron, age 13:
I saw a female and male cardinal on my backyard fence just recently. The female was a bit paler due to her camouflaging instinct to hide from predators when caring for her young. They were very beautiful! Cardinals are one of my favorite birds, Cameron! And, just to let you know, the female, by adapting, received her plumage. Of course, she also has the instinct to camouflage her nest, so you are mostly right about camouflaging! I'm glad that you got to see this beautiful pair! |
