Crows are such interesting birds to watch. Creatures of habit, I'd say. For mornings of end, I am hoping for seven of them to come down from the trees to the feeding station in the garden. No, only six, at most! Wonder if those fairy tales about seven rooks has something to do with that, that only in fairytales seven of them would gather. ;-)
Your trees have such delicate branches, which makes for such lovely pictures. I finished Cold Mountain. I really love the way he writes about nature. One of the very best books.
Vicki, your previous post showed me what worries me about ever returning to the area where I was born. I am sure that similar signs might be in the minds of folks elsewhere, but might not be posted.
Which is worse?
Meanwhile, I do compliment you on these beautiful bird photographs. Not one of those feathered fliers seems to have additional ammo.
It's good to see that not all crows have vanished.

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.

Lucky crows, observing such a beautiful sunrise!

Love the photos!

Ah, so that's where my crows have gone to? I've been looking and looking, and have nary a one today!
Love those crow conversations.
Difficult birds to resist, Vicki.

Inger -- I'm going to have to reread Cold Mountain -- it's been quite a while.
Frances --- I hate the mindset of a lot of the folks in my area but, as I said, I find the people themselves really nice.
We had a lot of crows in my street this morning. Do they know something we don't know, I wonder?
Lovely pictures Vicki.
