Yesterday night, almost around 00.00 hours (because 12.00 bus just passed my house), the crow family that nests in my back yard spruce/pine started calling. Commotion was on for about 4 to 5 minutes. I did not hear anything else. I suspect that an owl was on prowl. Sure at this time of the year there won't be any snakes out to steal eggs or catch females. In recent days they have been sneaky. In the past years I have seen a couple of dead crows. Any idea if anything else, what could bother them?
I was just looking out of office window and I could see gulls heading to Cornell dump. I noticed they go mostly in groups 20 to 30, may contain Ring-billed, Herring and Great-black backed. At times I have noticed some of the groups are pure young birds. So it is intriguing who are members of these group?
