I have another mishmash of my local bird pics, paintings, and videos. If you are so inclined, pick out the bird that laid these eggs. I hope it’s fun guessing, and good luck if you don’t already know the answer.

As summer wanes in New York’s Finger Lakes, crows descend on the fields, hunting insects and a treat, corn on the cob.

They return north as soon as the ice melts, usually by this time of year in March. I filmed this last summer and have yet to see him this year. Herons feed during both day and night and eat fish, snakes, frogs, crustaceans, birds, small mammals, and insects.
