American Crow

Corvus brachyrhynchos

Description:

Distinctive bird with iridescent black feathers all over. Its legs, feet and bill are also black.

Habitat:

Cabrillo National Monument The park offers a superb view of San Diegos harbor and skyline. At the highest point of the park stands the Old Point Loma Lighthouse, which has been a San Diego icon since 1854. A statue and museum in the Visitor Center commemorate Juan Rodrguez Cabrillo's exploration of the coast of California. In a former army building an exhibit tells the story of the coast artillery on Point Loma. In the winter, migrating gray whales can be seen off the coast. The two-mile Bayside Trail affords spectacular views of San Diego Bay and the city beyond, and takes you through one of the last remaining remnants of coastal sage scrub habitat in the world. The rocky intertidal area is one of the best protected examples of these unique ecosystems in Southern California.
