More Peanuts! Now!!! Urban Crows can be really pushy and feel entitled.

One crow of a murder that perched around the yard demanding I refill the peanuts. I finally did and of course they stole most of them. No Jays or Acorn Woodpeckers showed up but I put out mixed bird seed at the same time and got lots of doves, finches and sparrows plus the lesser goldfinches to the refilled sock feeder.
5DIV, Tamron 150-600 G2 @ 600, 1/200 @ f/6.3, ISO 1250
Bright day, blue sky above and looking south so it is backlit from the low angle sun. Bringing up the details of the black feathers produced a bit of noise. I will put the flash and better beamer back on and do fill flash.
Today a pair of Ravens, one twice the bulk of this crow landed in the same place and demanded peanuts but I had to move across the open door to get the camera and they took off. I will have to leave everything set up in hopes they come back.
Might be time to set up the blind in the yard again. And I am overdue for rearranging the potted plants and bird baths in the yard. More work, and me in the running for the Gold Medal for both the Lazy and Procrastination competitions. Well at least it is cool now.
