There are scads of crows around here but I haven't noticed any babies.
But baby blackbirds are in great abundance and learning the hard way.
Two of them have attempted to fly through the back porch windows (glass
on 3 sides) in the last couple of days. And those are just the ones I
saw. Both attempted to go through the window on a takeoff from the deck
so weren't going very fast when they hit. They seemed to shrug it off
OK. At least they flying again without difficulty.
