During the murder season, we don’t see Rocky and Natasha by themselves very often. So it was a sweet surprise to find the rain-sodden pair at the feeder today. Just the two of them in the rain, enjoying a meal together. Love!

Four crows on a utility line as viewed from our top floor window
It is rare to see all four of them at once, calmly sitting together. Usually it is a wild rumpus of flying, feathers, squawking, chasing and jostling for position!
Rocky, Natasha, Izzy and Tristan. Hello, crow family!

The crows have been so active that it is hard to keep up with all the videos and antics! So here is a montage of last week’s fun…

Sometimes they don’t want food…just to stand outside my studio window and be admired…which I happily oblige.
Molting season, so they are all fluffy and patchworked. Awww.

There was a dance party at the feeder today… or was it a food fight?

Somebody wants to rule the roost today!

Your daily dose of crow bliss!
(This is Rocky and we think Whitby, a fledgling from last year who stuck around this year)

Rocky enjoying a long moment of solitude at the window feeder…he wants every creature to have food, safety and a place to lay their weary heads.

How to entertain your crow: put a whole, raw egg in a bowl. Make sure it is too big for him to pick up. Sit back, watch him try to puzzle it out for a long, long time. Then feel bad for how puzzled he is and go crack the egg for him. ☺️. Repeat.

Rocky’s got his own way of strutting…

Wonder Mike very much wants to be best friends with Rocky. And also Rocky has lots of tasty snacks in his bowl.

The crows are back on the front porch, practically knocking on the door! They are always welcome. 😁

Rain-soaked crow on the feeder. Now this might seem like an ordinary visit to you, but for the parent of a raucous new fledgling (yes! We have a crow baby!) this is one minutes of blessed peace and solitude. ☺️

We’ve begun leaving the window open to get closer to our crows…well, one of them nearly stepped in - just for a moment. 😁. Before long we will have them at the dinner table dining with us.

Well some folks have crows who bring shiny things…ours bring sticks. But they are tolerating a camera phone in the window now. This guy was even a little curious - giving it the eyeball near the end of the footage.

The crows have returned to the front porch when we’re enjoying the evening air…it’s a little parade!

Rocky in a rate moment of sitting still during the busy nesting season… sitting with his back to us as we tell him what a handsome boy he is.😁

We can hardly keep up with the appetites of our pair of crows - nesting season is hungry work!
