(And some disagree about whether Northwest crows are actually a different species from American crows.) <br /><br />The Seattle Audubon Society has a link to their WA range; I would look to see if your local Audubon Society has info on whether or not / where they can be found in OR. They certainly like tidal areas, and you've definitely got some of those... :) <br /><br />These folks (http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/living/crows.htm) seem to think they're pretty exclusively Puget Sound critters, but I don't know if that means "in WA, exclusive to Puget Sound," or, "in the PNW, exclusive to Puget Sound," though I suspect the former, b/c the latter is plain silly. And excludes Canada and Alaska. <br /><br />Cornell University also says (http://www.birds.cornell.edu/birdsleuth/modules/exploring-bird-behavior/bird-guide/northwestern-crow) "Northwestern Crows live on the Pacific coast from southern Alaska to the Puget Sound." <br /><br />They <i>are</i> cool birds, and I like them a lot. I rather miss them here. And Stellar's jays. But I missed blue jays when I was there. :)Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201286586062722169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1785248711810287089.post-13477002788506240412010-06-23T22:40:57.632+01:002010-06-23T22:40:57.632+01:00But remember - all crows in the Northwest are not ...But remember - all crows in the Northwest are not Northwest Crows :) We don't have any of those down here in Portland. The one link you posted says they are found along the coast from Alaska to northern Washington State. We just have American Crows here in Oregon, even though it is clearly the Northwest. Cool birds, aren't they?Alysshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820396354932192545noreply@blogger.com
