"Hooded Crow - Corvus cornix: A Versatile Hunter and Adventurer" In the picturesque region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Germany, a Hooded Crow - Corvus corone cornix - gracefully glides over a serene lake, on the hunt for fish. With its sleek black feathers and distinctive hood-like markings around its head, this intelligent bird is a sight to behold. Meanwhile, perched on a tree stump nearby is the majestic White-tailed Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla), proudly displaying its impressive wingspan as it clutches onto a freshly caught fish. The Hooded Crow observes with curiosity from afar, perhaps hoping for an opportunity to snatch a morsel. Birds eggs are often sought after by various species in nature's intricate tapestry. From the nimble Dipper to the melodious Warbler and resilient Thrush, each avian creature has developed unique strategies to protect their precious offspring. Even larger birds like Spoonbills and Ptarmigans face challenges in safeguarding their nests against predators such as Falcons and Curlews. Among them all stands the cunning Hooded Crow, known for its resourcefulness when it comes to finding food. As winter blankets Helsinki, Finland with snowflakes dancing in the air, both the regal White-tailed Sea Eagle and vigilant Hooded Crow adapt to survive these harsh conditions together. Their contrasting appearances create an enchanting scene against the snowy backdrop. In April's awakening springtime in Finland, our feathered friend remains alert on snow-covered ground.
