Gentle Bluebird, emissary of spring - I am grateful to see you come back again.

I didn't find Breadsticks again today, and Tomato is also gone. I did however make progress with this neighboring crow whom I've yet to name. After being able to feed them out of my hand today (safely) I'm now giving them a name, but I'm asking my followers to vote on the name.

While some might consider them "boring" due to how common they are, I find Crows both amazing to interact with and watch, as well as photograph. They're remarkably intelligent, omnivores, and always seemingly up to something or other.

This one here was with their buddy, hunting for worms and stuff in the grass. I think he was also hoping for some of the ever elusive chips that the children running around might have dropped from their own snack patch.

They grabbed something fun here, looked at me curious, then flew up to a tree where this bird wiped it's beak on a branch for a solid minute. Very curious.

I really like the challenge of photographing these birds because they're extremely hard to get exposure correct on and be able to capture detail. Also possible I'm horrible at this and they're not that difficult, just my newbie-ness showing :) Either way, they're great practice!

This beauty was photographed at 500mm and a 1/500 shutter speed. ISO was around 400, it's a very overcast day.
