Re: [cobirds] Interesting Crow behavior along the river today, Arapahoe County

We were just in Mexico and noticed Great-Tailed Grackles doing the same thing.

Today when walking along my local patch along the Mary Carter Greenway (the part I patrol is between Bowles Ave and the Northern Wildlife Area) I watched a American Crow on the rocky beach take a piece of bread or a roll and drop it in the river. The bird started to drink and look around, watching to make sure anther bird did not take the bread likely. Than after a few moments the crow proceed to tear the bread apart and eat it. I don't know if the bread was hard as rock and stale and needed softening or if the bird just likes soaked bread, but it was rather interesting to watch this. Corvids are know for their intelligence so it was quite a treat to get to watch this in person.
