Crows might not be everyone's favorite bird, but they sure can be entertaining. These four, and a few others, were picking up bread my friend Ruth threw onto her front lawn near White Rock, BC, earlier this month. Their antics were fun to watch, and we laughed at their squabbles.

It's always amazing to see how "human" nature can be! Thanks for your kind comment on my post today, dearest Kay. Have a wonderful weekend. (((hugs))) Jo
Terrific shadow shot, Kay! Love that green grass and the birds look as though they're enjoying it all! Have a great weekend!

I'm not fond of crows but you are right, like all birds they are fun to watch. When we camp in Yosemite we are amazed at how they can negotiate between the trees. They are skillful flyers navigating in and out.
I'm one of those weird people who actually love crows. This is a wonderful shot!!! I haven't succeeded yet in taking a decent picture of crows since those around here are surprisingly shy.
Very nice reflections !
I like watching crows too, they're very intelligent and cheeky,
The land is so beautiful! The strong sun gives the lawn a warm yellow-green hue. The shadows range from the massive (tree) to the minimalist (each crow). Can't say I am a huge fan of this avian, but they are quite the characters!
Yes, you're right... Not everyone's favourite bird... But I remember one day walking in the street and almost treading on a piece of bread one crow was about to get and the look in his eye was so desperate that I felt pitiful for it... But the bird got his piece of bread anyway...
God bless you!

MMmmm, blackbirds and shadows. Am I the only one thinking Edgar A. Poe here?

Many shadow-seekers say,
“Oh, the one that got away!”
Why are you so uptight, folks?
Can’t you take light’s little jokes?

A murder of crows - love their little shadows-great shot!
I didn't know a 'grouping' of crows was referred to as a 'murder of crows'! I learn something new on these meme's all the time.
Nice that you were able to capture them digitally before they took off! Or, before the bread crumbs ran out!
Birds are always so entertaining to watch! Your capture of them is lovely! I think crows are quite beautiful looking birds, but they do freak me out a little. Probably due to featuring in too many horror movies! Have a great week :)
The crow to the far right of your shot looks to be showing off for the camera! Too cute.
Love the shadows of the tree! Watching birds is a fun pasttime - I miss it now - can't wait for spring!
Ah, this photo could have worked for Camera Critters too! :-) I don't remember if it was in White Rock or not, and now that I think some more, maybe it was in Tofino, but I once saw a large sign listing 30+ species of birds found in the area, but the CROW was NOT on it, and there were hundreds of them! We laughed! In Japan, crows are revered.
that looks like an inviting spot to spread a rug and have a picnic.
You can imagine why the crow/raven figured so prominently in the stories of Native Americans. They really do have strong personalities.
Lovely big shadow of the tree. Yes, crows can certainly make quite a fuss. Mickie
Very nice shadow shot.
What a nice clam appearing photo of some pretty normally rockus birds! I like the way the 2 on the right look to be dancing. Great ShadowShot!
Busy crows and such luscious green grass too! great shadows!
I really like this photo a lot. The fact that there are four of them, together, has much meaning for me. The crows talk to people, (unless they are busy eating like these folks) Nice job.
Peace.
Crows are so smart! Good catch!
The crows were cawing here like mad this morning, but they still must deal with snow and the remains of the ice storm. With snow all around me, I especially loved the shadows of the trees on the green grass!
Crows are so intelligent and incredibly cheeky - I really admire them.
Great shadows!
Crows always freak me out a bit. I relate it back to watching the Hitchcock movie, The Birds. :)
Looks like a warm sunny day! Ha, ha! And those birds are taking advantage of the sunshine. Thanks for stopping by...
a perfect place for picnic. i love to spread a mat there.
