American/Northwestern Crows - Color Banded. A population of crows has been
banded at Meadowdale Park in Snohomish County. The birds typically have red or
yellow over their aluminum band on the right leg and some other color
combination on the left leg. The project focuses on the social and kinship
relationships surrounding these beach-foraging crows. Any sightings and
information on roosts in this area would be greatly appreciated. As part of a
related study, crows have been banded on the UW campus. Report to: Renee
Robinette, Animal Behavior Program, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98105

University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195 corvid at u.washington.edu, or on the

A long Saturday birding trip to Green Lake (with Martin Muller), the Seattle
Waterfront, and Mountlake Fill revealed 50 bird species. At the southwest
corner
of the pitch and putt golf course at 9:30am we found an AMERICAN CROW with
bands
on each foot.
