I just learned that there was a pair of fish crows that adopted a blue jay!! The crows fed and took care of the fledgling jay, this is so cool
The article says it was observed in 1987
"A fledgling Blue Jay (Cyanocitta cristata) appeared in a Fish Crow (Corvus ossifragus) nest containing young nestlings. The jay was fed by both adult crows for 12 d before it disappeared, representing only the second recorded instance of interspecific feeding by a member of the family Corvidae"

The croworkers on this fine (dreary) morning!
I guess this is the difference here between 'parking lot crows' (they're fish crows), and my home crows (they're American crows)-- you can also tell fish crows from their much more 'nasal' sounding caw. I find that "parking lot crows" like this are very used to people. As to what they are eating? I'm the corvid lady...of course I have peanuts in my car at all times.
Oh how different a journey I would have had if Hekyll and the crew were more people oriented!

These little fuckers are round gobies. They are a freshwater goby that's invasive in Michigan, and they're in the nearby lake. They're distinct from the four native species due to their fused pelvic fins (middle pic) and a big black dot at the rear of their front dorsal fin. Though some other gobies have spots on their fins, NO Michigan-native species has a fused pelvic fin. These guys are very aggressive feeders and are very good at outcompeting native gobies.
They're also extremely good at stealing bait off big hooks as people on the docks reel in their lines. In particular, the bastard in the bottom photo stole my bait two days ago, so I caught him and filleted him for Bug.
Today, after acquiring smaller hooks, I went back and got 16 more, and educated several other fishers about their invasive nature. I got two turned over to me by others, and caught 14 more myself.
One man wandered over and asked why I was catching them on purpose. It was too much trouble to explain my feelings about invasive species, so I just told him, one of them stole my bait two days ago. He stopped watching my bobber and boggled at me and goes:
"You're doing this for revenge?"
So now there's some guy in town that thinks I am exacting revenge upon fish kind for a single stolen worm.

Hekyll, Jekyll and the gang came this morning, despite the snow we are now getting, but before the events of today, I had a different flock to share from last night. This is the second roost area of fish crows (a slightly smaller type of crow than the American crow) in the area the I know of. This individual was with a group at least over two hundred strong. I do not believe this is the same large flock I'm familiar with near my workplace (they're a much larger group, but given the distance, it *may* be possible). Hard to tell, I can't be in two places at once after all.

the bald eagle is honestly a great bird for the united states considering it's a bully and an opportunist that is nonetheless surprisingly remarkable at what it does when it's not flailing around incompetently
