Yes they are crows with a yellow beak. They are really funny and highly popular, everyone loves them because they are extremely curious and funny. They are only found in the mountains.

They're awesome. We had one for years, some hybrid rescued from the bargain bin of a garden center. It even flowered but died at some point. Probably was too dry.

Nice!
More monarch butterflies soon! The caterpillars aren't dumb and don't rest where they feed because birds like to look for damaged leaves to find and eat the culprit.

We grow stinging nettles for the larvae of peacock butterflies but we haven't seen some in years.

Found some cool beetles though.
The metallic ground beetle is about 3 cm long and a powerful hunter that feeds on earthworms and large snails.
The red- and black one is called 'bee-wolf, about 1.5 cm long. Its larvae parasitize bees.
