If you live in the eastern United States, chances are you’re familiar with the clear, loud, teakettle teakettle teakettle song that reverberates through woods and thickets. This unique sound belongs to the Carolina Wren , who unsurprisingly is the state bird of South Carolina!

Have you ever gone to look for a American Crow roost in the United States? Yes, these are common birds, yes they sometimes eat eggs and baby birds (even woodpeckers do that) but it’s unbelievable to see that much bird mass in one spot. It seems that more and more, American Crows are choosing to roost in urban areas.

But, getting the nest set up, amorous acitivites, the laying and hatching of the egg, all that, happens earlier. But individual birds are not migrating sooner. They migrate every year almost exactly at the same time. Then, the birds migrate in relation to the earlier hatch date. Each generation of birds migrates a bit earlier than the last.
