This is a baby crow that fell out of its nest today. I found it hopping about in the St John's Wart along our side yard when I was out doing some yard work.
Its parents were losing their little minds trying to get it. It has to be frustrating to not have arms that can just pick up a little one.
Anyhow, this baby left our yard and started making its way up the street. I was scared that it would get hit as it could only hop and walk little birdie steps.
I "herded" it to the side and it eventually hopped into some bushes and I hope its parents don't give up on it (it has a sibling still in the nest), and I hope that one of the many cats in our neighborhood doesn't get it tonight.
