 It is true that crows are highly intelligent. It is not as widely known and rarely seen that they actually show emotions for each other. These 2 crows have appeared often in a tree next to my house. One preening the other. I believe they have come to know me as they appear when I put peanuts out for them frequently in the mornings. I am careful not to offend them as I have heard that they can hold a grudge for many years!

The background is a 1/2 second exposure of a pine tree which I moved the camera as I took the shot.

Congratulations! An incredible image and I appreciate the story. I have always heard crows are smart birds. After your story and the posts below, have inspired my curiosity to look up more info on crows.

we are moved and oddly sated with this appetizing rendering.

Very nice, even if the crows look slightly one-dimensional. The background texture is great.
