5 Reasons To Like Crows (American Crow)

video upload by LesleytheBirdNerd

"Crows belong to the smartest bird family on the planet, Corvids! They are fun, interesting and intelligent. Sometimes they bring gifts to people that have befriended them and they never forget a face, a good or bad one! Lots of people love them but many hate them too. It's thought they destroy corn crops and spread West Nile virus but actually, this isn't true. Crows are misunderstood birds that need some love!"

46,000 Year Old Dead Bird

"On Jacquelyn Gill’s first day doing field work at the Siberian permafrost caves during the summer of 2018, a local fossil hunter approached her with a dead bird in his hands. The translator hadn’t yet arrived, but from the freshly dead look of the bird, Gill assumed it had just recently flown into the cave and died. A modern bird was of little interest to her team, which had flown to this remote region and trekked for miles to study remnants of the last ice age. The man, however, was persistent in offering her the dead bird."

Baffling Bird

via Gizmodo
"A Pennsylvania birder spotted the bird of a lifetime in his backyard this past spring—it was a hybrid of three species across two genera in a single bird. He’d found a three-in-one warbler.

Natural hybrids can be of conservation concern, since animals mating with the wrong species can give birth to sterile offspring or birds that no one wants to mate with. But one hybrid warbler seems to have found love, albeit with a bird from a completely different genus, leading to the strange results.

'It tells us that warblers in general appear to be reproductively compatible over millions of years of independent evolution,' Dave Toews, postdoctoral associate at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, told Gizmodo. 'The things that really define them, their distinct colors and their songs, are likely mating barriers, and that they don’t interbreed because they can’t, but because they choose not to.'"
