Crow Friend

All of a sudden one day a couple of weeks ago, I discovered this lone crow that keeps coming to my birdbath to get a drink every morning and evening.

I ran to get my camera just in time to catch this one shot of  the crow. It seems strange to me that this particular crow comes to our garden all by itself. Usually we see many crows together in one place or another. I began putting seeds and nuts and bits of fruit on the rim of the birdbath to see if the crow would find them and of course it did.
This morning, as I was eating my breakfast, I looked out the slider window just in time to see my friend back at the birdbath again. I raced to my office to get my camera and got these exciting shots.

I was so happy to get these! Often the crow has flown away by the time I get back with my camera. Not so this morning!  ( you can click on the pics to enlarge).
 
I got back to the window just in time. I love this last pic.  Woo-hoo! Made my day.
I was so excited I went outside and worked in the garden all day long. I'll show you pics of the results of that in my next post.

Happy gardening!

Thanks Alicia! That's my favorite too.
I've been reading my "Stoke's Field Guide To Birds" this morning and now I'm not sure wether my bird is a Crow or a Raven. ??? Ah!
Have a nice day, Alicia.

Colette,
Love that last shot. It's great!

What a good friend that crow has in you. And what a yummy breakfast you provided. That's one lucky crow!

Enjoy your Sunday,
Susan

Hi Susan!
Good to see you here. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment. It's funny, the last two days, the blackbirds kept dive-bombing my crow friend and not letting it come to the birdbath. Today I noticed the blackbirds weren't around and the crow ate in peace. See ya over at T-Cozy!

Ok Folks, it's a Crow for certain. The tail shape is the telltale (no pun intended) clue. The wedge shaped tail is the crow. So there we have it. Ta-da!

Happy bird watching!
