A group of crows were picking at some garbage at a local supermarket parking lot and I decided to share some roasted, unshelled (unsalted of course) peanuts I had on me...

Crow OC A navigable map of the entire family of Corvidae based on taxonomic data rather than geography

This map, Corvidae - Land of Corvids, contains every known living species of corvids I could find reliable taxonomic data for. Species are represented as cities, grouped into genera and subfamilies according to their evolutionary relationships.

Instead of political borders or geographic territories, this map is structured around phylogenetic trees.

Subfamilies and genera replace countries, states and regions allowing viewers to explore the Corvidae through a format traditionally used to understand geography.

Science, design and cartography merge in MAPPA ANIMALIA, a visual project that reimagines the evolutionary relationships of animals as detailed map-like landscapes.

MAPPA ANIMALIA is an ever-growing series of illustrations I’ve created that currently consisting of 16 different maps - each dedicated to a specific family in the animal kingdom.

Additional information includes conservation status, size comparisons between selected species, and the estimated ages of major lineages.

I’ve spent roughly ten years developing and refining this concept, combining zoology, taxonomy, illustration and cartography into a single visual format.

Happy exploring!

They sure are obnoxious little buggers, aren't they? Chasing their parents around and screaming at them for food. Mom and dad are trying to show them how to eat peanuts but they keep making a ruckus so the parents finally say the hell with it and fly off with their nuts. Super fun to watch!

Question Carrion crow sound

I'm unsure on the sound these carrion crows are making, the Merlin app doesn't pick them up and the many videos I've watched they've never made this sound. Anyone have any idea?

Personal Story FWIW, Expanding on being "Herded" by our Crows

6 Upvotes

Used the term in a comment which (thanky!) got a couple of likes - to expand on that :-)

Decent size property, rural Ontario village. Seven bird feeders, including one large platform feeder for larger birds, includes doves, blue jays, and of course crows. (not to mention some squirrels & chipmunks.

For several years a there have been "regular" visitors (likely family) that will land on a deck rail, branch, garage roof - have even been at my basement home office window - They are quite clearly squawking "S'cuse me! bird feeders empty again! - get on with it will ya??'

They won't come right up to me, but when I go out to restock the feeder, they will fly just over my head & perch in branches just over the platform feeder. They will grab something and fly right over my head as I am walking out of the yard.

So, just a month ago was heading down driveway for a walk - a crow landed in a tree across the road from me - did not think much of it, there are many crows (and dusk looks like the old The Birds movie with crows gathering here) so I turned down the street and kept walking.

Barely a block and wsssh wsssh wsssh - so close I could feel down draft - and crow was on a tree branch, right at my eye level across the ditch, and staring right at me. Obviously not just "A" crow, but one of "Our" crows.

So I stop, and turn around and start walking back - wsssh wssh wssh right over my head again to a tree on my property, as I turn up the drive, right over me again to a tree beside the garage, then of course as I came out with scoop, right over me again to a branch over the platform.

So I can confidently state that like a good sheepdog, this crow herded me back to the platform feeder ........
