    Sorry it's taken so long to get back. We have a lot of crows and ravens here, specifically the Common Crow, and the American Raven. I've always had trouble telling the two apart unless I see them side by side as they look so similar, raven's being the bigger of the two of course. So I mostly just look for the raven's wedge shaped tail when they're flying. Both are all black, although there is one species in the extreme southern part of the country and Mexico that has a tiny bit of white on its neck called the Chihuahuan Raven. And yes, they're highly intelligent birds. I know ravens can learn to talk like a parrot. And I've got a funny story concerning crows and their intelligence if you want to hear it.

    Hummingbirds are so cute. It's easy to mistake them for a large fly or bee, they're so tiny. I like to think of them as living jewels, so many have glistening feathers. It's a rare sight to see one perched motionless, at least it is for me. They're quite plentiful here, mostly in damp climates. We have a lot here in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest with all the rain, and the flowers we have in the spring and summer. They're very cute little birdies.
