American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos)

Also known as the Common Crow, he is very skittish and flies at the first hint of a human, so you have my apologies for the lack of quality on this shot.

They often come to the feeders, but as soon as they catch a glimpse of me, they are away...this is through my glass door from the other side of the room!!

I wanted to capture one for the Blipbigyear, so I'm combining it with one of my favorite poets today!



Dust of Snow

BY ROBERT FROST

The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued.
