Today we saw the hooded crow around 9am. There were at least a half dozen birders already there when we arrived who had been observing the hooded crow. We watched it land near the bathroom, and then take off to the woods. It had not returned by the time we left at 10am though a diligent search was made of the beaches.
A theory proposed was: since the garbage had been collected from the cans and the beaches cleaned, there was little food freely available for the hooded crow to scavenge and hang around. He had been seen perched on the rim of one of cans and peering into it. Did the crow follow some line of reasoning?
