When it’s hot, crows open their beaks to exhaust heat, sort of like a dog panting. You can also see the wing drifting a bit in the wind. They hold the wings a little away from the body to allow airflow.

      Yeah, a bit. The fledglings who still demand to be fed by their parents are found following the parent around and squawking loudly. This one is an adult and he was just sitting on the branch by himself feeling the breeze.
