During one of my recent walks, I came across these birds. I’m no expert on birds, but it seems to me that these are too big for blackbirds, not stocky enough for ravens, too small and not “spotty” enough for starlings. That leaves grackles and crows. I’m going for crows, mostly because they were making the classic-sounding “caw” noises typical of crows.

Some people don’t seem to like crows, but I find them quite attractive.
