American Crow

I've been throwing a medley of sunflower seeds, peanuts, mealworms, and dog food pellets around our driveway on recent mornings, hoping to develop a relationship with a murder of crows in our area.
With some success, they've come most days, but they are a wary bunch and don't hang around long if they see me.
Got a flyby early this AM.

Beautiful photo!
Thanks all! Glad you liked it.
I'm finding that crows are really hard to photograph.
If there is not the right amount and direction of light reflecting off those feathers all I end up with is a black blob with an eye highlight, if I'm lucky. lol!

Marshall,
I wholeheartedly agree. In the spring, the red-winged blackbirds are plentiful, but difficult to capture, especially in flight. A black blob is an accurate description.
