Just Another December Sunday Afternoon
Hi all,
Today, I was struck by the peace, normalcy, and slight humor of it all...
The wife rose earlier than I (she can keep her mornings and I’ll keep the nights), and ran her errands. I on the other hand took care of this and that, and then set up the tripod and camera in the kitchen and readied for the important stuff – football! (And yes, this Sunday, when all was said and done, the New England Patriots got their “collective clock” cleaned... Wait ‘til next Sunday... Just wait ‘til next Sunday... Now back to the birds!) With the camera rig focused on one of the feeders, we simply left the camera “on”, (we have an AC adapter that allows the camera to remain “on” and focused indefinitely) and went about our business.
And that’s where the fun begins... Any trip to the kitchen could turn into a photo session. The pictures that follow are from just such a serendipitous shoot of crows eating old pizza.
What a difference some birds and feeders, a camera, a football game, and a loving wife can make.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures of those goofy crows, and I’ll see you by the feeders,
Alan
Time's running out... But it’s still not too late to enter the “’Tis the Season to be Jolly (to the Tune of $100)” Contest!

Alan,
Good images! Crows are particularly intelligent, so i'm presuming they ordered the pizza the way they like it! :)
