This crow or raven was seen around Green Lake in Seattle, Washington on the afternoon of May 31st, 2011. Crows are seemingly everywhere and aren't shy- this one followed me while I was  searching for wood ducks and wouldn't stop cawing at me. Finally I let the squakatron have his paparazzi moment and then it let me go on my way once it realized the shiny thing in my hand wasn't food (it was a camera). The Northwestern Crow is smaller than the American Crow, and it is only seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can read more about Northwestern Crows here, and more about the Common Raven here.
