The differences you point out between the older and younger crows are stark.
Great photography. I believe that we have a pair of crows nesting high in the tops of a stand of conifers on our property.
I'm not sure if they are American Crows, but they look very similar, The ones we see and hear every day are very large, and they make a racket. At times you will think that another bird is in the area because the crows seem to have many different calls.
I like how you have included your name on the pictures, very cool.

Thank you for your kind words!
It depends on the region you are in, but American Crows are very widespread. I recently read an article that the Northwestern Crow has basically been absorbed into the American Crow species because of so much interbreeding. I think most of the time it's a safe bet to call them American crows.
How lucky to have a nest in your yard! If we were neighbors I would probably be coveting your rooftops for photo ops, lol.
Thanks for the info.
You may not be able to see them, but I'm surprised you don't hear them, they're a noisy bunch.
