I can decide to just watch crows for an hour if I want to.

I still find them a bit scary but I love your post!

I've just realised that when the leaves emerge fully on the trees behind my house, I will not get such a clear view of their antics.....perhaps its time to go to France ! Hope all is well with you.

Years ago we found a fledgling crow which had obviously fallen out of its nest and was very hungry. We fed it and made a little shelter for it until it had finished fledging and could look after itself. Our farmer neighbour thought we were made to bother with a crow....Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-10029720061984953632012-03-31T16:09:42.235+01:002012-03-31T16:09:42.235+01:00Thanks for your comments Erica ( Irene), It must h...Thanks for your comments Erica ( Irene), It must have been a pretty brave hawk to attack a crow... however bright they might be, they still look quite scary to me. Those beaks are huge...but hawks generally know what they're doing dont they. Hope your' weekend is good too.

We have a ton of these 'crows' in my backyard...... they come in swarms.<br />I have these very old large crab-apple trees and they love to snack on them...well they use them as a buffet. <br /><br />I also can't tell these birds apart, they all seem to be the same color but different sizes I noticed....last summer I saw a Hawk attack a very large crow.<br /><br />Hope you have a great weekend.Erica (Irene)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10506249277104250093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-926851391080970240.post-60826757115125773542012-03-31T13:12:00.656+01:002012-03-31T13:12:00.656+01:00yes, for years I've shooed them out of the gar...yes, for years I've shooed them out of the garden, thinking of them as real bullies, but I have become strangely fond of them in the last few weeks. I'm looking forward to watching the fledglings leave the nests.
