Carl T. BergstromFledgling #crow just a few hours out of the nest.
myrmepropagandistCarl, is it OK if I share this baby crow over on tumblr? I'll link back to this post and your account obviously.
People have been saying that this is a baby crow over there and it's driving me up the wall:
Andy Price@futurebird @ct_bergstrom My searching got me to a bird called a buff-banded rail https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Buff-banded_Rail_chick_%28Gallirallus_philippensis%29_%2836761960344%29.jpg
[Edit: I'm not entirely convinced that it's the right bird but it seems like a good lead]
Yay! Thanks! The post about fake, incorrect baby birds is up. Now I just need to identify the "not crow" and it will be complete:

Baby crow, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo…
If I have to have this stuck in my head, I'm going to make it *everyone's* problem.
Pierangelo@futurebird @ct_bergstrom i think that's chicken breed looks like maybe this https://www.freedomrangerhatchery.com/shop/product/black-diamond-chicken/
@futurebird @ct_bergstrom ops just read linked post sorry, yeah buff-banded rail seems legit🤗
Blue Appaloosa@futurebird @ct_bergstrom Pretty sure that's a baby chicken, different breeds are different colors as chicks. I couldn't tell you which breed that might be, but maybe @ksonney or @foxfeather can.
@futurebird Also, I'd like to show you this neat art of the growth of a crow from egg to fledgeling. It's a Carrion Crow, but they really don't look much different from American Crows.

raederle@futurebird Have you used Cornell Lab Merlin Bird app? I’ve found it to work well for me when I can say where and when I spotted the bird with a photo.
