Crow

In addition to gathering nest material, as I mentioned yesterday, crows are also out looking for new food sources now that the snow is melting. This and one other were in the ravine, wading through the narrow, shallow stream searching for things. A few minutes before this photo was taken, this crow had caught a frog which he took up to a nearby conifer to eat. Then back he came looking for more. When I first saw him with something in his mouth, I thought it was a beak full of wet brown vegetation. But putting my binos on him, saw it was a frog. Too far away to see details of colour or pattern, but possibly a green frog.

Ah, an excellent crow. He has a lean and hungry look. My neighbor crow was harassing a hummer this morning, nothing I could do (:. V
