American Crow //Corvus brachyrhynchos//

1.The american crow is found in many habitats including in and around praries, wooded areas and places with trees. 2.Both the female and male sexes look alike, and are easily spotted due to their large size and the fact that they are head to toe black. Contrary to what most people think, crows are actually more complex than they appear. They remain living with their parents until they find their own home and find mates that stay with them for years. In the winter they travel in large groups that can consist of hundreds, thousands, even up to millions of crows. The crow is greatly affected by the west nile virus and is like no other bird in the fact that the death rate of crows due to this disease is very high, dying within one week of infection. 3.The American Crow has a varied diet of insects,reptiles, mammals, amphibians, grains and other birds eggs. There is proof that crows live in the AHS prarie because the picture was taken and the fact that in the winter, as well as all year round you see crows all over Ames. In conclusion, I really don't know all that much about crows, except for the fact that they live in the prarie, and that my evidence supports that fact.
