There are two crows hanging around my yard, one of them pecks at trees like a woodpecker. I've been getting some really good close up video. Anyway, I was just outside and one flew to the tree just above me and cawed like mad. I searched youtube for Eagle sounds to see what would happen if I played it. The crow shut up and started to look around, then jumped up a few branches. It started to peck at the branch it was on and cawing loudly again until the other one showed up. They haven't swooped at anyone yet, but I'm keeping a helmet at the ready just in case :)

Edit: just walked out onto the deck and about 2 steps in I noticed one standing on the railing. "Oh fuck", 2 slow steps backward and we're good. The one on the deck was just staring back at me and the other one was losing its shit. I guess they must be nesting nearby.

Turns out that the one on the deck is injured, and two others are hanging around watching it. I'd catch it to try and help it but I don't think the other ones will let me get close enough. Hopefully I won't have to post a video similar to that one lol

Crows are cool, very family orientated. Maybe put out some fresh water?
@curious2garden is the resident bird lady, she'll have good advice.

My wife just called and said she read that if it has short tail feathers it is young, learning to fly, etc. So, I'll keep a safe distance because ma and pa are doing the same. I guess it isn't injured.

Been sooo nice out lately
Been going for lots of walks with Renly ! So far we've done the baby carrier and the stroller
I prefer the jogger stroller it's awesome to push up the hill

I have Ravens and I cannot figure those birds out. They roam around the neighboring properties. For all I know they nest here at my place. They're here daily, doing their thing. More than once I've seen them usher owls and hawks out of the area, it's pretty cool to see em work together like that. I've also seen the way they can freefall-drop straight to the ground and land effortlessly.
