Two Crows

[horace2264]

I was pleasantly surprised to run into two Crows at two separate locations today while doing my leaf run. It has been quite a while since the last time I sighted any of these species.

Please correct my ID if I get them wrong.

I have not seen or shot Crows for quite sometime also.
Good capture.

Thanks, Federick. The only Crow species which I could find more readily and consistently is King Crow in their mangrove habitats.

These two species (Blue Spotted and Spotted Black Crows) and even the supposedly more common Striped Blue Crow have not been seen (by me) for a year or two at places where they were sighted previously.

Yes, the last time i saw the spotted black crow was in SBWR too.
It could be mangrove/swamp dependent.

It is so far the only place I have seen this species. Wonder which plant there is the larval host?
