The feeder by the shed attracts many animals, every once in a while crows come to it. How many crows do you see? If you said 5 you better click on the photo to make it larger.
The American Crow is a majestic bird that was almost eliminated because of pesticides which the farmers used.
Here is the black squirrel and the crow at close quarters.
I caught this one flying by.
Here is one who came to the front feeder for a close-up on a brighter day.
You can see a lot of critters above.
Hi, Tom. That last shot of the crow is wonderful--perfect lighting to show off those glossy black feathers. Crows are fascinating birds.
ReplyDeleteVery handsome birds, Tom. I only saw 4 until I clicked to enbiggen, which is a lesson to remember.
ReplyDeleteLove your header photo, too. I must get to Kent for a visit some day.
You are so talented dear Tom, these pictures are outstanding!
ReplyDeleteI liked this post we can imagine a beautiful friend story behind it!
Happy weekend and CC
purrs and love

I do think they are a majestic bird with lovely black feathers; but they steal my birdseed, eat my apples, and make a lot of noise. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the last shot too.
I'm noticing the green grass again; but it's because I have snow this morning!
lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteMine is up now too
Wonderful crow photos ... well worth embiggening. That photo with the squirrel is amazing to me but my favorite today is the last shot!
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,

Crows....they always remind me of ravens. Beautiful birds.

He seems very regal!
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
Lovely photos
ReplyDeleteMy entry this week : in HERE. I hope you have time to visit. Thanks
4 on the ground and 2 in the air?
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of the crow. He's a beautiful but often maligned bird. Cool shot with crow and squirrel in the same photo.
We have lots of crows around here, Tom. They are LOUD---but I read where they scare away the hawks... So--that is good.
ReplyDeleteWe got SNOW... Tomorrow's post!!!! ha

I love watching the birds and crows are very entertaining. Especially like the shot of crow and squirrel together. Nice captures Tom.
ReplyDeleteI especially like the last picture.That crow looks like it's got an attitude.:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
They sure are loud!
ReplyDeleteGreat post on the Crows, the last shot is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI like crows (perhaps I'm nutz???). I used to visit New Mexico every year and it was always a joke between my hubby and I that the crows would come out of hiding just to see me! Love the last shot!
ReplyDeleteGreat header!
Tom, this is a really beautiful sequence of critters!
ReplyDeleteThe crow in that last picture looks as if he's posing for you. That is truly a great picture, but all of them are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteNice shots Tom, he looks cross:)
ReplyDeleteI saw 6...okay we like crows almost as much as the dreaded squirrels around here...they flock and are crazy loud!!
ReplyDeleteI can Just see the Stars and Stripes on their backs.lol
ReplyDeleteMy grandfather always told us that Crows made good neighbors. He never allowed a murder of crows to be disturbed on his property...he even had one who like to ride his shoulder, rather like a parrot. I love crows to this day, putting out corn and seed for them along with the other birds we feed. Thanks so much for this post, it made me smile with memory of my Daddy Dwight

We have crows too but so hard to take picture of them. Do you think they are friends with the squirrel? ^_^
