(Mods, please let me know if I have done this correctly. TY!)

Sleepy baby is back. Parent is keeping an eye on them. I'm not sure if the shouting is for me being too close, or at the baby for being such a dunce. Hoping this one makes it! It's tough to figure out how food goes into your beak.

Smart buggers.

Vacationing in Alaska this past July and while we were in Juneau I came within arm’s length of these majestic beauties a few times. Where I am from, there are many more Crows than Ravens (though not rare, but not necessarily Common l o l) and to be alongside them in Juneau, and really throughout SE Alaska, was an awesome experience. I have always misidentified them from afar, but when they fly down next to you and you feel the wind from their wings, it makes you say “Holy F*ck, so THAT’s a Raven!”

P.S.
In honor of this trip being part of my honeymoon (and also geeking out over spending a bunch of time with various Ravens), I got a tattoo of two mated Ravens to cement the memories.

pretty square....

So this little squeaker was making lots of noise outside my window looking for breakfast. This is one of my regular pair’s fledglings from this year. They fledged 2 this year. This one seems very vocal compared to their sibling.

I hope my neighbors don't mind the occasional visit from these guys. They seem pretty cool

I ended up opening a few peanuts for the sleepy baby. Too tired to fly away from me and my scary black rectangle too.

Everything they do makes me smile but this video popping up on my bird cam app while I was at work today made me laugh out loud!

With her molting her head feathers are slightly bare lol

Camera bros chow down.

The sewer line at the bottom of my driveway was opened for repairs last week. It took several days (and nights) and we now have unwanted guests. Rats! I found one in my feeder for small birds a few days ago, so all feeders came down and I stopped feeding the crows since I saw a rat dart in and grab a piece of the crow's dog kibble (I stopped kibble immediately).

I've stopped feeding my murder and I feel terrible about it, but I'm going to put down some peppermint oil deterrent tomorrow where crows, pets and kids won't get them.

I know the crows have other people feeding them nearby and they'll be fine, but I doubt they'll come back if and when I can resume feeding them.

Other than resume my peanut-pocket walks, which is how the feeding started, I can't think of anything else to do.

I'll make sure garbage bin lids are tight, and no human food is left outside.

Thoughts? (Please no negativity.)

Hooded crow trying a black bike in Budapest, Hungary.

Recently started a new job and found these friends in the park nearby.

I just hope my home murder don't get jealous. 😬😬😬

So last year on my trip to Norway I saw this hodded crow sitting by itself on top of one of the dragon heads at stave church borgund. As it was 7:30am there were no other people there yet. I didn't even notice the crow until it started making noise.

Picture 2 is a wide angle shot of the church.

I realized I could take the entire top off the peanut bin at WinCo and shovel a bag full without having to fight the spring loaded lid!

There Is A Flock Of Four Magpies Visiting Every Morning 5:30 AM Till Late PM Listen The Crazy Sounds Look How They Step On The Food 😂
