Eastern Crow

Description:

Adult American crows are completely black birds weighing on average 450 g. The feathers have a glossy and slightly iridescent look. Crows have strong legs and toes. The bill is also black with a slight hook on the end. Stiff bristles cover their nostrils. About 20% of male birds are slightly larger than the females.

Habitat:

American crows are native to the Nearctic region all over North America. They can be found in the lower part of Canada and through the continental United States. American crows prefer open areas with nearby trees. Agricultural and grassland areas are ideal habitat for crows to forage for their food. American crows will also use nearby woodlots and forest edges for breeding and roosting. American crows thrive in suburban neighborhoods and urban parks, as well as in coastal habitats.

Notes:

Spotted this pair with my other (single) Eastern Crow picture next to a busy road and in someone's front yard in Acworth, GA (In a flowering dogwood tree - Cornus florida) Quite a day for crows! They were everywhere today!
