Take-off…a wee poem
don’t be afraid
to take off
it isn’t scary
you just
fall forward
and open your wings

Crows are messengers. Super intelligent, sleek and beautiful, It’s always wise to listen to what they have to say.
I was out feeding the cats when the triplets landed in the trees cawing and bobbing at me. I was petting Emily and they started landing. Ginger was eating dry food but moved away when the crows decided to eat. She sat there for a very long time watching them. Then she wanted to go back to her dish so she cautiously rose and circled around them and started eating.
As soon as I went inside Emily went into her box. She doesn’t play by the crows. A squirrel joined the crows and they were all happy.
It’s kind of amazing, actually. Did the best I could with the pictures, since I can’t get too close to the window.
Two of the three crows who were here and the cat (upper right bleached out by the sun), didn’t seem to bother them at all. The crows landed and started eating. The cat walked out from under a bush and sat at the edge of the patio, then walked to the food dish. The crows watched her but didn’t fly away.
This a bad picture but I had to stand very far from the window because crows notice everything and take off if they see movement. Sorry about that but it’s the best I could do. Everyone is here all the time and I think the crows recognize the cat. They are okay with me if I’m in the yard but they don’t like movement in the window. They sit in the tree and wait for me to put cat food and peanuts out for them. They caw and call me if I’m late. It’s very exiting to have them back (they are the three babies who were here in the summer).
The crows have been back but I have not been able to get any photographs. I’m standing far from the window and zooming in so these are a bit fuzzy. Any movement causes them to fly so I did the best I could. Mom is on the birdbath. The baby still wants to be fed but she has decided it’s time for everyone to to fend for themselves.
The mom decided to dig between the rocks for some tasty bits so she spent quite a it of time enjoying breakfast.
