It’s a viral story that seems like it’s been plucked out of a Disney cartoon: two-year-old Otto is best friends with a rescue crow named Russell. The young boy’s bond with the bird began when his family took in the weak and frail crow. Though the family has now sent Russell back into the wild — where he is thriving — he still visits Otto and comes to watch him play outside.

Migratory birds have begun their annual trek north, exciting birders and bird enthusiasts who will be watching for them.
