It's just me and my birds for the most part. Hekyll enjoys the summer heat, apparently. They have access to an entire stream a short way out.

#thebridgebeyond #wingsabovethebridge #crows #corvids #birds #bird pics #bird photography #I just posted on my main because I wanted to post about the crows. No explanation needed #Hekyll is so floofy #She's like a raven among the others with all that feather fluff #I am tempted to call her my 'little raven' even though I full and well know the differences #we do have a bunch of ravens here in NY and the tristate area #I like them too but I am very content with my American crows

Oh yeah? I saw that little happy hop! You can't pretend to act nonchalant, Mr. Nevermore.

These ravens never cease to amuse me. I'm often thinking they didn't see something I left, or/and wouldn't come down after I see them flying in the distance. Or that in general I just don't seem to notice them (but they certainly see- and surprise- me)!

Jekyll has a lot to say. Rally the troops!

He's also pretty fluffed up, which is usually the little raven's (Hekyll's) territory. It's enough that he's sitting on her favorite branch. Jekyll, your mate is about to have a few words with you.

It's 7am. I did not focus any of my shots in what would be fairly optimal morning light (they fly off so quick sometimes)! We're just going to ignore that part lol.

I have many more mornings to try, regardless. Maybe they'll get used to me enough to settle down, who knows--- or get used to a lens of some sort pointed at them constantly like Hekyll and crew eventually did. I just know that it's quite bitter out here this early! By the afternoon it should be fairweathered and nice.

Please excuse the caps but

THE UNIVERSE FUCKING HEARD ME---THE UNIVERSE FUCKING HEARD ME.

"You want a raven? Okay fam I got you!" This was literally, LITERALLY maybe 20 minutes after I posted the "gee..I wish the ravens that flew over would notice."

#wingsabovethebridge #bird video #common raven #HOLY SHIT IT HAPPENED #I will be starting my manifestation YouTube soon #I'm joking with that #I feel like I won the corvid lotto #I feel Hekyll and Jekyll being jealous somewhere #I wonder where that raven was to fly by again I thought the pair was long gone #felt pretty fucking magical

Don't mind all the muttering here.

Munin!

Munin definitely has a more 'grr' to their call. A bit more typical, imo for a crow around here, and certainly different to Hekyll's higher pitch (in the last video). That's how I immediately knew who it was-- and then I saw the bum foot. It's interesting how Munin switched up the caws when they saw me walking towards the food spot.

The quarter I only put there if I am present in the house. It is meant for the crows to understand that they can 'summon' me outside. A car in the driveway doesn't always mean the human is home. The corvids are pretty capable of understanding that...although Jekyll thinks it means 'being back something for the human as a bargaining chip for food.' He recently dropped a thick piece of glass.

A story in five pictures.

Morning with the Stooges.

Jekyll files a complaint against me: there is a disturbing lack of peanuts here.

Munin stole them all, Jekyll!

Wow wow the things that go on while the human is away at work!

Filmed with an upgraded security potato-cam (it's actually pretty decent, but clearly it's not a distance type of cam). Just decided to peak at the yard and hey--the crows are there!--what in the divebombing birb was that?!

Definitely some bird of prey, but my crows were seemingly unbothered. Hekyll, ever bold, chased it off. Whatever it was, it has barred wing tips and a barred tail. Judging by size, I believe this may be a kestrel.

Glad the potato cam caught something really neat, albeit not the greatest quality (it also rained so the window is a bit f*cked). I'll have to share to fellow bird brains.
