On Saturday morning, we saw two AMERICAN CROWS copulating for about eight seconds in a yard between Winthrop and Simsbury Drives in northeast Ithaca. The female continued to quiver, prone and with half-spread wings, for a few more seconds after the male dismounted. These two crows had no wing tags, but a tagged crow stood nearby the whole time.
