About These Birds

American Crow

The American crow is one of North America's most familiar and intelligent birds. Research has shown they can recognize individual human faces and communicate perceived threats to other crows. They form large winter roosts of up to hundreds of thousands of individuals in some cities.

Black-headed Jay

The Black-headed Jay is a medium-sized, boldly patterned jay with a black head and face, gray body, and bright blue-and-white wing markings. It inhabits coniferous and mixed forests of the Himalayas from northern Pakistan through India to Bhutan, typically at elevations between 1,500 and 3,500 meters. It feeds on acorns, seeds, insects, and small vertebrates, and is known to cache food for winter.
