I took a bunch of really nice photos of the crow army today - with the light reflecting from the snow, the details of their feathers come out so beautifully. Look at how blue/purple the big feathers are, edged by black, compared to the dark black of the smaller head feathers.

This is the boldest of them. He stayed juuuust out of arm's reach but didn't mind me kneeling down and stretching my arm out at him. He miiiight be Mr Roadside Pair but I don't think so, I think he is smaller.,,,

Yesterday the babies spent a while sitting in the shade of the madrone with their beaks open, possibly to cool themselves.

I live in the greater Seattle area, and we have a huge crow population (15,000+ roost at UW Bothell). A few weeks ago I left a bucket of water in our backyard, and a pair of them has started visiting us.

They also like our bird feeder.
