Ya’ll ready for this week’s #CrowOrNo? Today’s bird comes with a number of markers that offer helpful clues. The question is if you spot them. Good luck! Answer and photo credit at 5:30. 
Sorry I’m a little late, folks! Was arguing about whether coyotes deserve to be killed by the hundreds for fun times (no, uh, they don’t.). ANYWAY...this week’s #CrowOrNo is 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
Not a crow! Not even a corvid! And so many of you got this question ~currawright~ that I think I might need to up my game. Like last week the trick was nasal bristles and can I say that I LOVE when you point these things out in your answers because I 100% do.
So what is this beautiful specimen? This is a pied currawong. These birds are in the same family as Australian magpies (bottom pic). See the resemblance in the bill? (📸Marc Anderson, JJ Harrison)
Another good tell was the eye color. Although corvid eyes can come in a variety of colors (who can name them all?) there are no Corvus species with yellow eyes.
So did you have fun this week? I hope so! Thank you to @kyfialko for the great challenge. See you next week and remember: Coyote contests are Fing terrible.
