I think it's a crow - or is it a young raven?

Not sure!  I get a bit confused between those two.

I think it's a crow - or is it a young raven?

We had crows when I lived down the hill. Now, up here in the high desert, we have ravens. The beaks are curved on ravens whereas they are straight in crows. Both are pains in the butt on trash day. It's a bit breezy up here and they work with said breeze to lift the lids on our trash cans and scavenge for what they can find to eat. Trash ends up everywhere! My solution to that is to not overfill the can and, if possible, I put weeds and rose clippings in last (on top of the trash) because they leave that alone.

Seriously, they work in 2s or 3s to lift the lid. It's something to see. Annoying as they are, you have to give them kudos for resourcefulness.

They are very smart.  They have been shown to be tool users, too, like primates and other birds.  They go for garbage in our area, too, and I think are drawn to a specific color of trash bag.  I can't remember if it's black or white.

I've seen them fly high and drop nuts to break them open. I've also seen them pick up rocks and hit seed pods to break them open.

Nature is so cool.  Preserve nature!  Be good to the planet!

I've seen them do this right in front of my house. Also, they'll drop them on the road and wait for cars to pass in hopes the nuts get run over.

Smart little things.  Like the squirrels.  I swear those critters can do algebra.

Are you pulling my leg?  Ghost peppers are super duper high on the Scoville scale.  Me thinks you want my lower jaw to fall off!
