The American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) is now a common year-round resident in southern Idaho towns (pers. obs., C. Trost pers. comm.). Yet this was not always so. Larrison et al. (1967) and Burleigh (1972) found crows common in a variety of open habitats, but not specifically in towns. Burleigh (1972) sometimes listed a town in his county-status summaries, but this reference represented a general area. For example, for Ada County he stated that American Crows were “apparently resident at Boise” but continued with “on November 7, 1957, numerous flocks were seen in the open fields.” He cited Newhouse (1960) as stating that the American Crow was common at Council, and Davis (1935) listed it as a winter visitor at Rupert; but these authors were referring to the region around these towns, not within them. The only specific reference to American Crows within a town by either Larrison et al. (1967) or Burleigh (1972) was the latter’s of “a noisy flock of sixteen birds noted well within the town limits of McCall March 19, 1967; ground that day covered with several feet of snow.” Apparently the fact that they were within town was noteworthy.
