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.

Common Blackbird

Originally a shy woodland bird, it has colonized urban environments over the past two centuries and become one of the most successful urban adapters.
