[nysbirds-l] Hooded Crow & Common Loon

[ROBERT ADAMO]

Yesterday, 6/22, I traveled to Staten Island and saw the Hooded Crow. I guess, 
because of it's location near the water, I was reminded of another recent, 
unusual (time-wise) sighting which I neglected to post. On 6/14, I had a C. 
Loon at Cupsogue, swimming/feeding in the bay between the mainland and the 
flats. The bird was in 3/4 alternate plumage and appeared to be in good health- 
I didn't see it fly. Cheers, Bob

[nysbirds-l] Eurasian Jackdaws in America

[Kevin J. McGowan]

Back in 1994 I was asked about the status of jackdaws in North America by a 
friend at the British Trust for Ornithology. He was writing a species account 
for some book that I forget what it was.  I did a bit of digging and sent the 
following in a letter on 1 June 1994 (2 years pre-email for me).  I don't know 
if he used the material or not.

***

The first Jackdaw reported in North America was in December 1962 or early 1963 
in Fort Myers, Florida, and was regarded as an escaped cage bird (Stevenson, H. 
M. 1963. Florida Region. Audubon Field Notes 17: 319-323.) The first accepted 
natural occurrences were in the early 1980's on islands off the coast of the 
northern Atlantic states and provinces. The first was a bird found on Nantucket 
Island, Massachusetts in November 1982 (Forster, R. A. 1983. Northeastern 
maritime region. American Birds 37: 157). A number of Jackdaws (at least 9) 
turned up in the spring and summer of 1984 in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, 
Miquelon Island (French Overseas Department), and Nova Scotia. A good case was 
made for natural vagrancy: appropriate weather conditions, at the peak of 
spring migration in Western Europe, following a heavy fall irruption (Smith, P. 
W. 1985. Jackdaws reach the New World. American Birds 39: 255-258). Only those 
Jackdaws in Massachusetts and Miquelon were seen for extended periods of time, 
and I will discuss them below. With two other exceptions (explained below), 
only scattered sightings were reported subsequent to this influx of birds. 
Single Jackdaws were reported from a small island off the coast of Maine (11 
June 1985); Cape Sable, Nova Scotia (March through May 1986); and Connecticut 
(16 February to 13 March 1988). One individual was seen in Halifax, Nova Scotia 
December 1984 through March 1985. Another individual with a malformed beak was 
seen there November 1988 through March (?) 1989, and again in November 1989 
through March 1990.

A large number of Jackdaws (52) were found November 1984 in Quebec Province at 
the port city of Port-Cartier on the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence 
(Yank, R. & Y. Aubry. 1985. Quebec Region. American Birds 39: 148-150). 
Subsequent information indicated that the birds had arrived on board a French 
freighter that had picked the birds up lost at sea off southern England (Yank, 
R., Y. Aubry, & M. Gosselin. 1987. Quebec Region. American Birds 41: 61-63). 
According to Yank & Aubry (1985) someone in the Quebec Fish and Game Department 
decided that the Jackdaws had been ship transported and were "an unwelcome 
addition" to the local avifauna, and therefore instituted an eradication 
program. By late March 1985, most of the birds had been shot or poisoned (Yank 
& Aubry 1985). I can find no subsequent reports of Jackdaws from Quebec.

The single bird on Nantucket remained in the area for over a year, and was 
joined by a second in July 1984 (Tingley, S. I. 1984. Northeastern maritime 
region. American Birds 38: 999) . Two birds were there over the following 
winter, but only one was present the next spring. The last sighting reported 
was 8 December 1986 (Nikula, B. 1987. Northeastern maritime region. American 
Birds 41: 256). No attempts at breeding were reported.

Three Jackdaws were on the Islands of St. Pierre-Miquelon, possessions of 
France off the coast of Newfoundland, in March 1984 (Nikula, B. 1984. 
Northeastern maritime region. American Birds 38: 886). A fourth bird was found 
18 July 1984. One pair "occupied a fairly small territory for almost three 
months" in 1985, but no breeding was discovered; a third bird "seemed to be 
paired with a[n American] Crow" (R. Etcheberry in Tingley, S. I. 1985. 
Northeastern maritime region. American Birds 39: 888). The pair disappeared in 
July 1985, and the third bird was seen until August 1985. Two were sighted 
again on 18 April 1986. A single Jackdaw was reported 27 June 1991, and it was 
seen until 28 September 1991.

A pair of Jackdaws turned up far inland at Lewisburg, Pennsylvania in mid-March 
1985. The two lived in a maximum security prison, and apparently nested there 
several times. Fledglings were seen on several occasions, but no birds other 
than the pair were seen repeatedly. One of the pair apparently died in 1991, 
and the other disappeared some time in 1992. 

I can find no reports of Jackdaws in North America since 1992. I have heard of 
no other organized efforts to control their spread other than the Quebec one, 
but I'm not sure how well they would have been publicized. It would appear that 
Jackdaws established themselves nowhere, and the immigrants gradually died out. 
The only known breeding attempts were by the pair in Pennsylvania, and they did 
not seem very successful. It appears that the existence of Jackdaws in North 
America was just a brief, exciting thing. I, unfortunately, never got 

Re: [nysbirds-l] Eurasian Jackdaws and Hooded Crows

[Tom Johnson]

NYbirders,
The Jackdaws in Pennsylvania were present from 1985-1991 and were
presumed to have originated from a flock found in Nov. 1984 on the
northern shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.  The PA Jackdaws attempted
nesting (succeeding with fledged young in 1991) at a federal prison in
Lewisburg, Union County.  A bit more information regarding breeding
success each year can be found in The Birds of Pennsylvania by
Brauning and McWilliams.
Cheers,
Tom

RE: [nysbirds-l] Eurasian Jackdaws and Hooded Crows

[Shaibal Mitra]

Hi Jacob and all,

There's a good summary of North American Jackdaw records in the ABA Checklist 
(I'm looking at the sixth edition, 2002), based in part on an article by P. W. 
Smith: Jackdaws reach the New World, American Birds 39: 255-258. Jackdaw is 
accepted on the checklists of Massachusetts and RI, but records from PA and CT 
were deemed of questionable origins by the respective committees. I don't know 
how the various Canadian provincial committees, or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon, 
handled their records.

The sheer number of Jackdaws that appeared in mid-80s, as well as their 
appearance at outer coastal sites such as SPM, Nantucket, and Block Island, is 
strongly suggestive of irruptive vagrancy. Personally, I would think 
ship-assistance was a likely factor for many or most of these records, and feel 
likewise about this Hooded Crow, if explicit indications of captive origins are 
lacking. Coming aboard ships is certainly a "natural" part of the biology of 
many species in the contemporary world, as has been shown for Indian House 
Crows, and also for species like Peregrine Falcons that routinely use ships far 
off-shore as bases for hunting seabirds.

I must have arrived just moments after Mike and Eileen left this morning. When 
I arrived, the Hooded Crow had left the beach, but Tom Dulski quickly re-found 
it in the dead pine at the corner of the gravel lot. It soon disappeared into 
the woods, but I saw it fly back over to the beach just before I left, around 
8:15.

Shai Mitra, Bay Shore

Hi All,

Out of curiosity, I was wondering if anybody knows what the birding
community's reaction was when Eurasian Jackdaw's turned up in MA in 1982,
and if I remember correctly, I read somewhere that they bred in PA once.
Given that this species and Hooded Crow are often within proximity of each
other in Europe, and behave similarly it would be interesting to compare
patterns of their vagrancy. When the Jackdaws mentioned above showed up, was
the birding community skeptical of their origin? How were those birds deemed
wild?

RE: [nysbirds-l] Eurasian Jackdaws and Hooded Crows

[Richard Guthrie]

Good point, Jacob.

As I recall, the Jackdaws nested on a building (federal prison?) in
Pennsylvania. They also nested in Quebec, Canada. 

I did go to see a Jackdaw in New Haven, Connecticut back then.

I don't recall any follow-up to the Penn. Birds. But, I've heard that the
Quebec F people purposely destroyed all the Canada birds to prevent any
chance of seeing a colony established. The facts and reasoning are all
hearsay on my part. Maybe someone has some more reliable information.
