Lots of crows flocking to the apples, oranges, and bread that I've been throwing out in the front yard this winter. Try to photograph them through the front window, but they're fast! Either extremely good eye sight or hearing--not easy to catch them in the act. I like to hear them up in the trees complaining about the weather. :-)

They are scavengers...an very bold too!
you're sweet to feed them! i like these birds a lot!
You're so clever! :-) Like the photos you were able to take of them.
Despite everything they're handsome guys.Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
They seem to act like the magpies do here in my garden! I think they can hear, through walls when I walk in our living room with my camera! :)
Thanks for your nice comment on my post! Interesting to know you've been to Sweden!
Greetings Pia
You described them perfectly!
I've tried getting them through the window and just like you said they must see really well. I've even tried standing back and using my zoom. With that said, great job getting these!
I usually scare them away on purpose so they don't get everything from the little birds. :)
Well done with these images. Species such as Crows and Ravens from the Corvid family can be very wary of us humans and they can be very hard to get them to feel comfortable around humans, which does seem odd for such a large bird. So to get them feeding close by is a bit of a result for you, great stuff.
I love crows and they are indeed one of the hardest birds to get great photos of. I really like what you have captured. I could listen to them all day.
They're not the only ones complaining about the weather. We have quite a few crows down here complaining as well.
Nice pictures you show. Wish you a happy Easter :)
Crows of all types are great birds - they are really very smart.
Getting to the island is easy for me - I just hand over some money to a tour boat operator! But even if I had my own boat it would not be difficult - it no very far off shore.

Wow...they're very well fed in your yard then. They dine in style. Beautiful images Faye.
I like your photos.
Crows are smart birds. Every morning, my husband leaves a couple of peanuts in the shell on a feeder for one. The crow waits in a tree across the street for my husband to appear, then swoops down to get its treat.
That's one bird we've never had in the yard or at the feeders. I like crows, but have difficulty getting close to them.
