I have to use photos from my archives—please forgive me.  They have been hard to photograph lately

There is something you can’t help but love about Crows

They are so incredibly bright—studies have shown they are as bright as a nine-year old child.

They do have some very scavenger habits–

That I really don’t care for: like trying to peck out the eyes of newborn calves, poaching baby birds from other nests to feed their own, and devouring exhausted songbirds on their way home.

Still, there are other marvelous things about them—they talk to each other, and to you (if you talk to them) and clean up those ‘dead’ things so the earth stays fresh and clean.

Besides, I think they are just darn right “purdy”!
