The corvid family includes familiar birds such as crows, ravens, and jays.  Have you seen these birds in your area?  Have you noticed their behaviors? The ways they interact?

Because corvids are common and relatively easy to identify and count, they make ideal subjects for student science projects!

Even though many corvid behaviors have been well-studied, Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientists want to understand more about how these birds live and interact in groups.  The Crows Count project was developed to examine several questions that can be answered only if lots of people in many areas collect data and share the information with Cornell Lab of Ornithology scientists.
