Crows

There's usually 3 of them coming to this tree at predictable times of the day, and these 2 always sit together with the third one on another branch. Maybe it's a couple…

Dr. is this an open thread? Can any add more crows to your crows? There can never be enough crows, can there?

You got some fun fotos here! Their gestures and glances resemble people's so much, it kind of funny.

 

[DrLex]

Yes, please add crows at leisure!

Thanks Dr. I think I might have one or two photos somewhere. Or maybe I should head out with my gear and get a few. LOL

Caught this one in the evening sun, giving it a bit of a brass sheen. It was snacking on insects hanging around the tree.

I love crows, excellent captures.

Not to anthropomorphize but this one seemed to have an empathic stare.

The trio of crows is still following its regular schedule. The couple decided to sit on a different branch yesterday. I tried to come a bit closer but this immediately made them suspicious (second photo).
Today there was a short quarrel with a magpie, and another crow doing a low fly-by got some crow insults thrown at him as well.
