November 26, 2023 - Somali Crow (Corvus edithae) These crows are found in parts of Eritrea, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, and Kenya in open areas, including deserts, dry savannas, and cultivation. They eat carrion, small vertebrates, invertebrates, including ticks and lice, bird eggs, and grain and other plant foods, foraging on the ground alone, in pairs, and in small flocks. Pairs probably build messy nests together from sticks, wool, feathers, and plant fibers in trees or sometimes on cliffs, in caves, or on poles or pylons. Females usually lay clutches of four or five eggs.

I have a job in invasive species removal. Im trying to study on my own. But im not sure Where should i start? Its overwhelming tbh but since you also have ADHD im hoping you have a good perspective of where a good rounded starting point might be.

'Invasive species' is a pretty big category, and I'm not sure what aspect of it you're trying to study. It may be helpful to narrow in on what exactly you're wanting to learn. What species are invasive in your area? What species are most detrimental to the other species in your area? Ecosystem-specific removal strategies? The conceptualization of invasive species and how that effects how we interact with the ecosystems around us?

I would assume that who ever you're working for has given you a list of the invasive species/noxious weeds in your area, but in case they haven't (and for others reading) there should be a state/county/other local governmental body that maintains a list of the relevant plants in your area. For example, here's the one for my state:

https://www.nwcb.wa.gov/printable-noxious-weed-list

Narrowing down further, by county or city level is going to be more useful, depending on how diverse the ecosystems of your general area are. Like, I don't need to worry about a bunch of those plants, because they're adapted to the dry, hot side of the state, and they just don't compete here.

If you want to know which are having the biggest impact, well, learning to identify the species which are creating large monocultures, particularly if they're able to create monocultures in relatively undisturbed areas. Also looking up which animal species are struggling (threatened, endangered, etc), finding out what host plant(s) they use, and what those plants need to be successful may be useful. For example, Taylor's Checkspot is an endangered butterfly that needs prairie habitat, and depends on the (native) "harsh paintbrush (Castilleja hispida), marsh speedwell (Veronica scutellata), American brooklime (V. beccabunga)" and non-native "plantains (Plantago lanceolate and P. major) and thyme-leaved speedwell (V. serpyllifolia ssp. serpyllifolia)"*. So if you're in the area of that particular butterfly, you might want to leave the plantain and thyme-leaved speedwell, even though they're not native, depending on the local situation of host plants. Because a native and endangered butterfly depends on them. While also encouraging the native plants above and restoring prairie habitat in general.

As for creating a more nuanced perspective than "evil plant evil", here's a few things that broadened my prespective:

A talk called "Indigenous perspectives on invasive species" by Giniw Gary Pritchard, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pay6nAu62l8

A book titled "Beyond the War on Invasive Species A Permaculture Approach to Ecosystem Restoration" by Tao Orion

And this article:

With all of that said, I beg of you, and all people reading and going out and personally interacting with ecosystems, understand that it's a matter of nuance, complexity, care, locality, and on going tending. Different invasive species are different, and have different effects on the ecosystem. You can't just rip out invasive plants and expect that the native plants will automatically come back and dominate the ecosystem again. There's replanting, selective weeding, prescribed fire, habitat restoration and more and it's an on-going process, not a one and done thing. People have a real tendency to either decide that ALL non-native plants are bad and evil and no one should plant them (while ignoring all of agriculture) or deciding that invasive plants aren't a problem at all and we should just let them do their thing. Please find the middle path. Nuance!

Corvid Tournament Corvus Bracket Round 3: Pied Crow vs Somali Crow

Pied crow (corvus albus): The pied crow is a larger bird at 46-52cm/18-20in long. It is all black except for its lower chest and neck which are white, giving it its name. It is the most wide-spread African species, spanning across nearly the entire continent south of the Sahara, including the island of Madagascar. Its conservation status is “least concern."

Somali crow (corvus edithae): Also known as the dwarf raven, the Somali crow is a mid-sized bird at 44-46cm/17-18in long. They are technically ravens not crows (but the distinction is very slight and largely dependent on size so like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), and their feathers are slightly brownish, especially when worn. Their range is restricted to the Horn of Africa in Somalia and Djibouti. Their conservation status is "least concern.”
