Crows, Ravens, and Jays
Crows, Ravens & Jays Order Passeriformes Family Corvidae Members of the corvidae family are not known for their sublety or shyness. Crows and jays are noisy, boisterous, tolerant of humans, and smart. Because of their intelligence they are quick to find new food sources, like a backyard feeder. When they do, they can overwhelm the area and drive other birds away. Ravens are much more wild and prefer Pennsylvania’s remote wilderness areas. The birds are physically adapted for a variety of habitats and flight pat- terns - crows and ravens spend a great deal of time in the air. Their bills and feet are well-suit- ed to both prey on small animals or eat a wide variety of plant materials from fruits and berries to seeds or even larger acorns. Blue Jay Cyanocitta cristata Blue Jays are considerably bigger than a robin, at almost a foot in length from the tip of their prominent head crest to the tip of their tail. Their blue bodies are boldly marked with black and white. Their large straight bill is a tool for grabbing food and hammering at it before eating. They can eas- ily hold an acorn in their feet and chisel into it with their bill. Preferred jay habitats are woodlands, partly wooded suburbs, farms or even city lots - as long as they can find food. Jays are true omnivores, though most of their diet comes from acorns, beechnuts, corn, grain, fruits and berries. They will eat carrion when they find it. All kinds of insects and small animals make up the remainder of their diet: ants, caterpillars, beetles, grasshoppers, spiders, snails, frogs, small rodents, and even the eggs and nestlings of other birds.

Albinism in the Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) and Other Owls Pentti Alaja and Heimo Mikkola1 Abstract.—An incomplete albino Great Gray Owl (Strix nebulosa) was observed in Vesanto and Kajaani, Finland, 1994-1995. The literature pertaining to albinism in owls indicates that total and incomplete albinism has only been reported in 13 different owl species, the Great Gray Owl being the only species with more than five records. Thus six to seven incomplete albino Great Grays have been recorded since 1980 in Canada, Finland, and the United States. ___________________ It would seem that most animals produce Partial albinism may result from injury, physio- occasional albinos; some species do so quite logical disorder, diet, or circulatory problems. frequently whilst this phenomenon is much This type of albinism is most frequently rarer in others. Although albinism in most observed. It is important to note that white avian families is frequently recorded, we know plumage is not necessarily proof of albinism. of very few abnormally white owls. Thus the motive of this paper is to assemble as complete Adult Snowy Owls (Nyctea scandiaca) are a record as possible of white or light color primarily white, but have their feather color mutations of owls which exist or have been derived from a schemochrome feather structure recorded. which possesses little or no pigment. Light reflects within the feather structure and GENETICS OF ALBINISM produces the white coloration (Holt et al. 1995). Albinism is derived from a recessive gene which ALBINISM IN THE GREAT GRAY OWLS inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase. Tyrosine, an amino acid, synthesizes the melanin that is the An extremely light and large Great Gray Owl basis of many avian colors (Holt et al.
