Some Crow Observations....

Hi,

We had a sunny, cool Sunday, here on the south shore of Nova
Scotia. I went outside around 10 o'clock this morning and noticed
that my crows were sitting around on the oak and maple trees near
the house. I say "my" crows, not because they are tame, pet crows,
but because they've been coming to my yard and surrounding area
for years now.

At first, there were three crows, and, later, as high as thirteen
flocked together in the area. That was about ten years ago. The
number changes with the years. This year I have five crows that are
regular visitors. Well, more like four crows and a raven. For some
reason, a young raven seems to have been accepted into the group.
Interesting. At least one of the crows has been in the group from
the beginning. I recognize this crow, because it is tamer than the
others. I figure it's fifteen to seventeen years old.

Well, I'm off, now. I hope you are enjoying the blog!

All the best,
Laurie

Crows Near My Window

Hi,

This morning as I looked out my kitchen window, I noticed three crows walking about near one of the woody bushes in the yard. One of those crows was digging away in the grass near the woody bush. It was after the bird seed that I had deposited there last evening.

I was amazed at how diligently the crow was digging away in the tall grass near the bush. It was using both beak and feet to help extract the seeds from amongst the tangled grasses.

I tried to get a photo but the crow noticed my movement with the camera and flew away.

Oh well, I suppose we should be satisfied with experiencing such events rather than photographing them.:)

All the best!
Laurie
