This species is very common at Bhamo in the villages outside the stockade. 

 It arrived at the village of Ponsee ahout the end of March and established a colony 

 in some high trees near our camp. It is the common Crow in the Sanda valley, 

 confining itself, however, as a rule, to the outskirts of the villages and towns. It is 

 less numerous at Momien, where Magpies (Fica rustica) and Mynas {Sturnopastor 

 nigricollis) abound. In fact, one of the characteristic features of the valleys 

 beyond the Kakhyen hills is the prevalence of these three species of birds.
