The view from the breakfast table this morning. The 'entertainment committee ' must be off today, no birds in sight.

Casey, I think that is no crow!! That is a magnificent RAVEN!! crows mostly have yellow straight bills ravens have black bills and a curve downward, some crows do have black bills however. Then there are black grackles I think they are which are neither crows or ravens but make a lot of noise lol. Beautiful picture, what ever it may be,may need to snatch that if you don't mind. But their voices and calls are very different. the sounds of Raven and Crow Fall is most definitely late according to that glorious tree! wow what a gorgeous show off it is! edit I think I am wrong! I thought most crows have yellow beaks but looking it up just now they don't. So I was wrong that is likely a crow darn it i wanted it to be a raven lol.

This little frog was green inside my little greenhouse, then changed to match the concrete when he came out to sit in the sun.

Nicole, I totally love the composition of this shot, but those cattails look they have faces on them. I can't stop seeing them unless I stare at the gorgeous faces of those avian creatures.
