I have a large group of crows that hang around my house. In the summer, when we had our windows opened, we could hear them loud and clear every morning.

I think this crow is perched on a Staghorn Sumac? They seem to love to eat the flowers on this tree. This was taken from a distance from my lower deck and cropped. There is another crow to the left, but there were too many blurred branches in the foreground, so i cropped it out (this is the bird I was focusing on anyway)

I define myself by things that in the long run just don't matter. I am no one.

I love crows. I've never seen one in the snow before. Great capture.

It's a first for me too - they seem to hoard this tree now that everything is snow covered.
