American crow
Corvus brachyrhynchos

Field Notes
Description:
The American crow is omnivorous. It will feed on invertebrates of all types, carrion, scraps of human food, seeds, eggs and nestlings, stranded fish on the shore and various grains. American crows are active hunters and will prey on mice, frogs, and other small animals. In winter and autumn, the diet of American crows is more dependent on nuts and acorns. Occasionally, they will visit bird feeders.
Habitat:
My yard
Notes:
This crow landed in my backyard, while a group of grackles loudly berated it. It had caught something and at first I thought it might be a grackle nestling but when I approached, it turned out to be the remains of a squirrel.
