The American Crow is a common all year resident of the Forest.

The American Crow has a steady flight and it seldom glides. It eats insects, small invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles and mammals, eggs and young of other birds, grains, fruits, refuse, and carrion. The American Crow is cunning and inquisitive. It is found in a wide variety of habitats, particularly in open landscapes, with scattered trees and small woodlots. Crows roost communally and often the same sites are used year after year. Outside of the breeding season, such roosts may contain thousands of local individuals, their numbers often augmented by migrants from northern regions. When these roosts are located in cities, they may become a nuisance. The voice is the well known “caw, caw”.
