Field Notes

Notes:

Juvenile Crow I think, too young to fly away, calmed down after I gave it some chicken. Took it out to the farm field trees because of the noise by the house, but the parents brought it back the block and a half because unbeknownst to me there was a second one.

Species ID Suggestions

European Starling

Sturnus vulgaris

American Crow

Corvus brachyrhynchos

Welcome to Project Noah, GabrielVelasquez I hope you like the site as much we do; there are many features you can explore: I invite you to go to http://www.projectnoah.org/faq where you will find the purpose and “rules” of Project Noah. There is a blog http://blog.projectnoah.org/ where we post articles from spotters with special insight into different organisms. There are also the chats for help with identification, and to comment on your own and others’ spottings. Look at the global and local missions to put your spottings into: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions Enjoy yourself here, see you around!
@Maclom I think in general you are correct but as I said this was a noisy clutch by our apartment windows, I think that after I mentioned it to another tenant she called pest control (since they rip up the garbage bags on the curb) and they were all shot, and I wasn't troubled by any more noisiness. Yah, so, my attempt to move them to the edge of the town 1.5 blocks away would have saved them. By they way, Mal, I'm not a child (I've had three chances to take a pet crow in my life and left them.) and I'm put off by your talking down to me like I am one, so I won't be adding any more photos here.
@ednred that is way too big for a Starling, just look at it's size compared to the human hand holding it. A starling is the same length as the average hand, about 6". @Gabriel you should never interfere or feed young birds when they first leave the nest, their parents can take better care than you as was proved in this case, they are always nearby watching what is going on from a discrete distance and you should do the same. The only exception is if it is in mortal danger where it is, such as the middle of a busy road in which case only move it to the verge or nearest bush/tree/garden.
