,The Hooded Crow measures twenty- 
two inches in length, and two feet three 
inches in breadth. It is a migratory spe- 
cies, (at least) in England, arriving in 
October and departing again in the spring. 
But according to Pennant they continue 
in some parts of Scotland the whole year, 
and build their nests indiscriminately in 
all kinds of trees. Their nest and eggs 
are described to be similar to those of the 
Carrion Crow, they appear to be much 
attached to their o{fspring.
