It's almost the middle of March...which means the crows will be returning to Timmins. This is big news for the people that put up with them all winter in the US. See this site which keeps track of all crow news.
Blackie and his parents are fully vocal now, telling all ravens (and potential other crows) that this is their territory and to stay away. I am gradually weaning him from being fed, just once every 2 days. They are probably scouting garbage containers, visiting the dump and finding road kill. They don't seem too concerned but when I move at the end of the month they need to be able to find their own food.
All the winter birds have moved on and only the squirrel is eating the leftover seed on the deck. This winter is really weird, so warm, hardly any snow, and now early break up and spring.
As soon as the crows hit Timmins, I'll get pictures of the roost that congregates every year at the end of the driveway.
