American Crow

  • The American Crow is a large bird with a straight beak, wingtip feathers spread similarly to fingers, and rounded/squared off tail feathers.

  • While they are all black, their molted feathers can appear more brown and scaly.

  • American Crows are very social, smart, mischievous, and aggressive.  They can form massive flocks, sometimes in the thousands, are great problem solvers, and are not afraid to chase away larger birds.

  • They can often be found in open fields, forest, parking lots, athletic fields, and garbage sites.

  • Their diet is vast.  They eat fruits, nuts, grains, seeds, berries, insects, small mammals, aquatic animals, eggs of other birds, carrion, and garbage.
