I haven't seen the resident ravens, or many passing crows lately, but I've been watching the Stellar's jays, thrushes, kinglets, chickadees, juncos, and more helping to clean my garden of sleeping bugs.Evan Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06732413653862912387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-19059808707796213312016-12-28T17:51:24.922-08:002016-12-28T17:51:24.922-08:00Elantras will never look the same to any of us aga...Elantras will never look the same to any of us again.

I expect to see a lot more of them soon as they begin to feather their nests - they love to use my peppermint willows (Agonis flexuosa) for that purpose. They're very selective, picking and discarding half a dozen stems for every one they carry off.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-6493100910567614142016-12-28T11:47:42.202-08:002016-12-28T11:47:42.202-08:00Crows: I have a love/hate relationship with them. ...Crows: I have a love/hate relationship with them. I appreciate them, and realize they are intelligent and part of the web of life. But I'm sad when they gang up on fledgling robins or raid a hummingbird's nest for a tiny, tasty morsel. All part of the circle, of course. Interesting that they sensed and reacted to the presence of your camera.

If they think you are going to harm them they will not easily forgive or forget. Be gentle when pointing your camera in their direction... At my big window at work, at dusk, I watch Hundreds of them socializing. An awesome and slightly eery sight. chavlinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907844942343152129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-33332694088430083822016-12-28T09:38:17.197-08:002016-12-28T09:38:17.197-08:00Crows are such intelligent beings - they fascinate...Crows are such intelligent beings - they fascinate me. They seem like they are just mindlessly hanging out, but make no mistake - they are watching! I hear they even have face recognition! Our cat made the mistake of trying to chase one once, and the entire murder turned on him. Every time they see him now, they harass him. It's pretty fun to watch their interactions.Anna Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02353084595743927603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-40863473890717204642016-12-28T09:33:44.985-08:002016-12-28T09:33:44.985-08:00Carmen Elantra...oh that's good.
