Two crows

"Two for joy," quoted a friend when I put this picture on my Fbk page this morning. The crows were a little less shy than usual, and I guess that's almost a species of joy.

We had our first coating of snow last night -- six cm at the airport but only about two cm here, ten km south of and 100m lower elevation than the weather office. But, for the crows, even two cm is enough to cover all their usual sources of food. So the first crow, seeing the bluejays at the peanuts, called to his friend. And, at least together, they had enough courage to come down right to the door and gobble up all the remains.

Even the last day of October seems too early for snow. But I expect it will be melted by later today.
