Caws.

Miyoko Chu and I walked through Sapsucker Woods together on Friday
morning (7:55-8:50 AM). Migrants were widely and rather sparsely
scattered. We found BLACK-THROATED GREEN , BLACK-THROATED BLUE, YELLOW,
YELLOW-RUMPED, and NASHVILLE WARBLERS, a COMMON YELLOWTHROAT, OVENBIRDS, and
NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, plus a YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, two BALTIMORE ORIOLES,
and others. Most of the warblers were on the Dryden side near the long pool
with the shelter. The Yellow-throated Vireo was near the intersection of
the Wilson and West Trails.
Around noon, I saw a untagged but banded crow (pink over aluminum, left
leg) fly into our yard, carrying what appeared to be two pizza crusts. The
crow dropped them into a birdbath, let them soak for a couple of seconds,
then removed them and turned them on the grass for a few moments. It
repeated this dipping and draining procedure, cawed twice (somehow as if
quite pleased), and then flew off to serve or consume its meal.
Q: How does a corvid warm up cold pizza?
A: In the mi-crow-ave.
