One of our neighbourhood crow family

One of our neighbourhood crow family
The crow family we feed has been in the neighbourhood for four or five years. We were not the first to feed them -- a neighbour a few houses down started and kept track of how many in the family for a couple of years before we started. i think there are five or them now, but some days there are six.

This -- taken about an hour ago -- is, I think, one of the first-year birds.

They are not very wary of me, but they are certainly less wary of my wife who can be as close as a metre from them before they jump away. I'm looking forward to them landing on our hands or shoulder.

A handsome young black beauty, JustFolk. I love the fluffy rear feathers and the impressive black talons! The feather designs on its back and torso are simply beautiful.

Annalia, thank you very much.

I suspect we all look at our pictures with our own peculiar criticisms and justifications. I liked a lot about this picture when I looked at it originally, but I was disappointed in myself that the tail feathers went outside the frame. I wished I'd pointed the camera just a few degrees to the right.

But then, I thought to myself, I might not like *that* picture *because of* its structural completeness -- just too perfect :) -- and I probably prefer the "punctum" of not having the feathers entirely there!
