Crows have a pretty wide range of territory compared to some smaller songbirds that may spend most of their lives in a few hundred yard radius.
Most birds and animals have certain ‘routes’ they forage on, especially if they know of reliable food and water sources.
I have a flock of crows around here that hang out down the road near a random stand of Eucalyptus (sp? ) trees for some odd reason. They are always there in the late afternoon and scatter when you drive by. I think they may be gleaning oat hay oats from the horses and goats that live on the property.
They are pretty nomadic in their foraging.
I have all kinds of birds, Jays, Towhees, Juncos, Titmice, house sparrows that clean up the spilled grains in my goose corral.
Some fat farm birds over this way.
I joke that all of the songbirds on my little mountain make their eggs on Purina Layena chicken crumbles over here.
My “pet” Raccoon has me first on her nightly rounds, she shows up every night right about now 9–9:30 pm for her peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat.
Revs her up for a long night of foraging. haha
