Here’s the fledgling crow that squirrel was watching. We found it on our deck and our cat, Missy, had it cornered. We didn’t realize it was a baby at first since it was so big. Its wing looked damaged and it clearly couldn’t fly.

A call to the Wildlife Rescue folks cleared things up. Fledgling crows have blue eyes and are big. Too big for their nests. They end up falling out and can take a week to figure out the whole flying thing. However, their parents continue to feed it while it’s stuck on the ground. Fascinating.

He (?) left the deck today, but we hope he comes back. I think we’ll call him Carl. (Get it? Say it slowly.)
