The temperature was 4F yesterday, after -10F overnight, and I saw these two American Crows sitting in a tree with a blue sky background. The blue skies have come with the freezing temperature. Today it is snowing and will go to 21F, a real heat wave.
I parked the car and got as close as I could to them.
I did get one fair shot in the tree.
I had captured this one in the Fall in amongst the tree branches.
Check out Michele's American Crows for a real photography treat. She got fluffy crows.

Love the crows-don't know why-but they are one of my favorite birds.
Great winter pictures, Tom. It's fun to capture pictures like these in the winter when the leaves are OFF of the trees.
Thanks,
Betsy
It's been quite cold here too and I have to say that I'm so glad it's 42 degrees today!
I see nests in a lot of our trees around here that doesn't have leaves. It's so cool to see birds in leaf-less trees.
Nice photos! Looks COLD.
Ah, so you captured some beautiful crows as well!
Good job!
My crows were looking for their buddies and it seems they were here on your blog all the time!
Well, I'll make sure they know they are here! =)
Thanks for the shout out, Tom.
(Hugs)
Soo cold for the birdies.
My husband shoot bottle rockets to scare the crows away!! Great shots. With that heatwave coming through better get our your short pants, LOL!
Great pictures, Tom. I hope you're enjoying your heat wave.
Great bird shots!!
Take care and thanks for sharing
Cold in Florida too.28* here this AM.I've noticed the hawks have been really active around here with this weather,but not crows.
I like your crow photos, FG. Your temperatures are rising to more than 20? Are you trying to make me feel jealous? ;-)

An excellent series on the crows, Tom. No significant snow here yet, but extremely cold with an eight hour power outage last night.
FG,
21 degreesF ! you must have had to shed a few of those multiple layers to deal with that heat!! We didn't get above 19 today..but I admire your adventure to go out and get some great pics of those crows! Neat birds and but so noisy sometimes!
I said this on Michelle's but I do like crows for the depth of colour. Too cold for me, but I'd love a little snow.
All wonderful photos. I have not seen a crow in a few years. Makes ya wonder what happened or why why moved on.
Have a wonderful week
Can you bear the heatwave Tom? I hope you took advantage of it to catch up on your suntan!! LOL!! I think you will celebrate if it ever gets to be over 20.
Excellent sequence, Fishing Guy.
My favorite pictures are the last two, especially the beautiful close-up with those red leaves.
Just dropped by to say "Caw!" Hope you can handle the balmy temperatures heading your way.
Those are great shots. I always feel bad for birds this time of year. LOL yeap its sounds like your having a real heat wave there.
