we're watching her.....she's been sitting for a week or so as far as we know. supposed to take two weeks to hatch. seems to be just one egg. the dedication to the nest is impressive
I know, I love watching birds. We have some living in the birdhouse right now and the Robin's are all fighting for some reason.
I forgot to feed the crows that eat outside my bedroom window so they started banging on my window, scared the Hell out of me. So I put a lot of seed out there for them, crows are my favorite bird because they are so smart it's scary, don't want them angry at me.

OMG YES! Crows are amazing and smart birds for sure. If you ever get a chance to watch it, there's a documentary called "Murder of Crows" .... A murder of crows is the collective noun for a group of crows (googled it).

I really like crows (and ravens) too! They are so smart. I feed the crows at my mom's house when I go visit her and they seem to remember me.

There was a raven that hung out at a summer camp when I was a kid and would steal our craft projects. :lol:

I don't really like crows as there are so many and they seem to be aggressive towards other birds - even chasing hawks. but maybe I need to reconsider.

Oh they are very territorial so you aren't wrong! They will chase off some other birds and want to protect "their" area.

There's some that live down the street from me now and I basically only hear them if a hawk or raven gets too close and they get upset.

Studies have shown that forests with crown have more songbirds than forests without them. And yes they will dive bomb a hawk who tried to get too close to their own nest. They will also remember your face and tell their crow friends if you are to be feared or not.
