He also seems to like to “boing” when it’s pouring with rain, adding an extra layer of recording challenge!

He also seems to make his special sound partly in response to loud human-made sounds, so he almost always “boings” just as cars go by, lawnmowers start up etc — so not ideal for taping. But then my taping him is neither here no there for Bongo, so we take what we can get … 🤪

At this time she will be 100% reliant on her mate to bring her food. The early season begging you may start hearing soon is the mother bird’s way of reminding Dad of his coming role.

It all makes perfect sense if you think like a corvid.
Corvid couples share almost all the nesting season tasks, except for incubating the eggs.
Only the female can do this (she develops a special brood patch for the purpose) so she will have to sit in the nest for 2-3 weeks, once eggs are laid.

One bird will be bowing down, flapping wings and presenting a wide open beak, just like a baby.
But it’s WAY too early for fledglings. The crows and ravens haven’t even built nests yet!
So what’s going on?

Oh sorry — missed your comment. The crow took some steps back, but the eagle, fish and two crows were still in more or less the same configuration when we had to leave half an hour later.

Quite the blistering side eye from the eagle. 🤣

After that last withering side eye from the eagle, the crow backed off a bit. Half an hour later, the eagle was still in the same spot with the fish and the crow and a buddy were lurking about … just in case. 😊

Earl and Echo have each other’s backs at all times. Earl has one very crooked leg and Echo is blind in one eye but, together, they are a crow power couple; parents, grandparents and great grandparents to many other local crow characters.
