The corvids of North America consist of one species of jackdaw, four crows, two ravens, one nutcracker, two magpies, and ten species of jays. |

Long-eared Owls usually nest in abandoned stick nests, often the nests of magpies, crows, ravens, or hawks. |
Disturbance after eggs are laid provides opportunities for predation by carrion crows, jays, kestrels, magpies, foxes and mink. |
