Talked too soon

Well, baby crow NOIR is back at IBR. His mom wasn't there at the time I put him back in the nest tree but I assumed she was in the area. I got a call from the homeowner the next afternoon saying they'd not seen her at all. I drove back to town and the minute I got out of the truck, there was mom, yelling at me. She did, however, not seem that interested in her offsping, probably too busy with the other two who were already flying. So NOIR will stay here until he's ready for release, hopefully in a week or so.
