Jan Hansen sent this photo and commented,
"These young crows had been flying all over with their family.
"Then I watched the tired fledglings use the grass like a nest and call for mama.
"Sometimes it’s easier not to grow up. "
According to resident columnist Christine Southwick, crows actually leave the nest before they can fly. Well-meaning humans often "rescue" them - but nesting on the ground is normal behavior and their parents are still taking care of them.
