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-billed Magpie
The Black-billed Magpie is a striking, long-tailed corvid of western North America, with bold black-and-white plumage and an iridescent blue-green sheen on the wings and tail. It inhabits open country with scattered trees, riparian woodlands, and suburban areas from Alaska south to California and east to the Great Plains. It is omnivorous, feeding on carrion, insects, fruits, seeds, and small vertebrates.
