Frank Kleyn snapped this photo at Woodland Park, but it could just as easily have been in any of our back yards.

Seattle's ubiquitous crows begin breeding season in April. According to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, crows will mate for life and the average age for females to begin reproduction is 3.3 years. Crows often live well into their teens.
