This beautiful bird is common in much of rural western Washington. Various populations are reported as being shy, while others are known to be very forward toward animals and humans alike. A member of the corvid family, these birds are quite intelligent. They are daily visitors to my feeders at any time of year.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
