Field observations from 11th January 2023 to 23rd January 2023

Even if it is a warmer winter than the previous one, January is still cold in Tartu, and crows are saving their energy by simply resting, most of the day, in flocks on the trees.

As everyone is trying to rest, agressivity is very rare, and most of the time the different species are simply coexisting peacefully next to each other. Here, you can see all three of the local species on the top of the same tree.

As periods of snow alternate with periods of defrost, crows are often seen on the ground to eat from the partially accessible soil.

As this situation is more favourable for them, here also, peaceful cohabitation is the norm.
