A woman watching was literally crying as momma sat nearby guarding other eggs and was helpless against the thief. I talked some people passing by out of scaring the bird away, as this is how nature is supposed to work. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/427052421 FYI, I'm getting a "Restricted Access" message when I try to look at this photo.

They changed it to crow on ebird, making the grackle link stop working. After a member told me it was a crow, I went ahead and changed the species to Fish Crow in Ebird. I do understand that without hearing the call, it could in theory, be an American Crow, but given the Fish Crow calls that I hear every day in this county and every time I'm at that hotspot, and the lack of any American Crow calls I've encountered in the year + I've been living here, I felt appropriate to report a Fish Crow.

I mean, I'm definitely not the opinion you were looking for, but I think it's a cool photo, it makes you feel as if you are peering through the flowers to look at the hummingbird and it gives you a sense of the surroundings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
