I just looked out in back and saw our pair of yard AMER. CROWS sitting side-by-side on a willow branch, each with its mouth stuffed with the shredded inner bark of a nearby dead willow. What a great missed photo op! They flew off to the west, so apparently are not using their old nest from last year, at the back of the yard.
