Plain text indicates the location (see corresponding red arrow) of the animal(s) in image; bold text indicates the basis of the identification of the animal(s).
1 – Perched in tree (one) and in flight (two). [Three crows: one perched is fairly clear, but blur of two in flight is more challenging. Diagnostic black plumage and legs.]
2 – On pile (four). [Four crows: one is partially buried in pile. The challenge here is to determine the number of birds clustered on the pile. The rounded object between the two birds on the right appears to be the base of the far bird’s left wing, rather than the head of another crow. Diagnostic black plumage.]
3 – On pile (two), in background (one), in flight (one). [Four crows: two partially obscured by pile material, one hidden in background vegetation, one blurred in flight. Dark object projecting from frame on left is part of the surroundings and not a crow as revealed by its consistency in adjacent images. Diagnostic black plumage and legs.]
4 – Pile foreground, facing left. [Single crow: morning fog results in a somewhat challenging image (partial view of bird). Diagnostic black plumage.]
5 – In front of pile (one) and in back of pile (two). [Three crows: one partially obscured by pile. Diagnostic black plumage is apparent in this grayscale image.]
6 – On pile (five). [Five crows: one is partially buried in pile. The challenge here is to determine the number of birds clustered on the pile. Careful examination of group on right reveals three heads. Diagnostic black plumage.]
