About Sheryl
A Liberty Wildlife volunteer found Sheryl Crow on the ground and was concerned because she thought Sheryl Crow looked ragged and would not fly from humans. It was determined she was imprinted and non-releasable because of her comfort with humans.
Description
American crows are large, intelligent, all-black birds with hoarse, cawing voices.
Habitat
American crows are often around open areas near patches of woods, or in human-modified landscapes like city parks, garbage dumps, campgrounds, manicured lawns, athletic fields, cemeteries, and parking lots.
Range
American Crows are found from Canada and south through the United States. They are notably absent from much of the American Southwest as they do not live in deserts.
Life Span
The average life expectancy of the Harris’ hawk has been estimated to be up to 12 years in the wild and twice as long in captivity.
Prey / Food
The majority of its prey consists of mammals such as cottontail rabbits, jackrabbits, rats, ground squirrels, gophers. Their diet is also supplemented by birds, primarily Gambel’s quail, and reptiles.
Babies / Food
Nests of sticks and other materials are built in or on top of solid structures such as trees, saguaros, electric or telephone poles. The female usually lays 3 to 4 eggs and incubation lasts between 31 and 36 days. The young fledge in about 40 days.
