I've been putting out a seed mixture in our front yard driveway in an effort to attract a family of crows that frequent our property.
Modest success, so far, and just watching them has been very interesting. One has a landing spot on a big white oak branch, and he checks things out for a few moments before committing to swoop down to the treats.

Excellent shot, Marshall.
Thanks, UTMike, I've been trying to get this shot right for a while now.
Continuous autofocus wasn't getting it done this time, for me, and I ended up initially focussing on the takeoff spot, taking my finger off the BBF, and relying on DOF as I tried to follow him to the ground.

Wow Marshall, great capture
Thanks, Curmudgeon, glad you liked it!
I was real happy with the way the black of the crow looked against our KY Fall colors.
