An excellent shot that captures a crow's behavior well.

If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Like sparrows, these birds tend to return to their original nesting site, year after year. The landscaped woods outside my office windows, back around 1990, saw a single mated pair of crows. The following year they returned with their offspring who, in turn, raised their own who returned the next year. By the time I retired, six years ago, that clutch of birds had become a large flock, and, having lost count, I estimate the flock had grown to approximately 150 birds. During those years I observed them myriad times, seeing the intelligence of an older crow who found an old and hard cracker. Ironically I was having lunch across the street, when I saw him out the window, carefully turning his head one direction to dip the cracker in a shallow puddle of rainwater, then tipping the other way to dip the other side. I realized that he was softening the cracker to make it easier to eat. Conversely, I once watched a young crow out my office window attempting to pick up a twig off the ground . . . as he stood on it! He tugged on it with a single-minded tenacity that suddenly overwhelmed his balance, tipping him forward, and he did a slow somersault, bird and twig, until he was on his back, feet in the air, still clutching that stubborn twig. He stayed in that position for about ten seconds, before deciding his quest was futile and so let the twig go about its business. Fascinating birds to watch and the angle of his head and intensity of his eyes in your photo, Richie, is so representative of this species.
