No. I’m on a phone with a lousy connection so didn’t look any further.

I’m used to seeing the Great Blues and the greens or even an occasional Bittern there but that one caught my eye.

It’s hard to tell immature black crown from immature yellow crown. Which adults do you see most?

The guys out in the desert at Ft Irwin called crows "Soul Chickens".

I suppose the sight of one leeching a ride on top of the symbol of the USA and freedom is about right.

Too bad a good Photoshop of the soul chicken clutching an EBT card would look phony.....

If you have a strong telephoto lens and get lucky you can catch a single frame that looks like that. Or you can just photoshop it.

Interestingly I was on the rifle range at the gun club (in upstate NY) and saw a crow harassing a bald eagle in flight. They flew right over me.
