Another one at the peanuts

There's a family of four or five crows practically resident a few

doors down the street. Our neighbour there befriended them a few years

ago and they keep coming back for the food she puts out each day.

When I put peanuts outside our door for the jays, the crows usually

just watch from the trees or wires, and loudly warn all around if,

say, a cat should walk into the garden. This week one of the crows, I

think a young one, has started coming down to my stash of nuts. He

waits until the jays seem to have given up. A jay shooting in ahead

of him will usually send him off in the other direction. Here he was

today getting a nut for himself when the jays were busy burying or

showing off their peanuts to other jays, or whatever it is they do

with them.
