One Very Smart Cookie!

They say that the crow is one of the smartest of birds. By observing them over time, I see nothing to disprove that. This one was as interested in me as I was of it. I would make noises to get its attention and it would look at me and seem to study me. When the camera shutter clicked, it would cock its head and look around to see where that noise came from, plainly it was a noise not familiar to it. It was fun interacting with the bird, as it is interacting with any wild creature. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a time when animals and humans would dwell peacefully together, neither one harming or wiping out the other? This smart little bird would fit right in!

It truly would be wonderful! I agree with Steve, they really are smarter than most
people...but I tend to like anything living better than people. A gorgeous shot, Vern.

Beautiful job on the shot, Vern. Not easy to get such good detail in the black. Looks like he's smiling at you, to me! :)
