QUESTION: inside of hen house in the the boxes
Okay, I'm still baffled as to how the crow is getting into a hen house. If it's got wire mesh around it and the door is kept closed, then there's no way he should be getting in there.
Are you sure it's a crow that's getting your chicken eggs? It could also be a rat, possum, snake, raccoon or the actual chickens themselves.

Expertise
I can answer questions about bird identification (by sight or sound), behavior, distribution, population, conservation, mating, nesting, fledging and feeding. I do have some practical knowledge about foreign species, but identification skills are limited in that arena. Bear in mind that as much as I know, it's possible that at least some of you will ask a question that I am unable to answer. At which point I would direct you to wherever or whomever I thought could provide you with that information.
Experience
I have 15 years birding experience in Southern California.

Education/Credentials
My education is in art and photography -but I have a substantial portfolio of nature related work.
