Crowspotting Developments

In Which We Are Probably Some Kind of Bad Neighbors

Okay, so the thing about liking crows is you want to see them walking around in your front yard, doing all kinds of hilarious crow things.

The solution: Peanuts.

We have a strict rule. Crows only get peanuts if they are either a) around to see us put the peanuts out, or b) hang around outside our house making lots of noise to get our attention.

I'm not sure they know they're getting our attention, but hey. We figure, crows are smart. They should figure it out pretty quick: caw = people = peanuts.

Of course, even though crows can totally outrun (outfly?) us, they're kinda skittish. I guess they figure we might be some kind of previously un-reported teleporting human or something.

So we put out the peanuts, and then go inside and fire up the webcam in the front window. Much hilarity ensues as crows come onto the lawn and crack open peanuts and stalk around and other crowy shenanigans.

I keep waiting for our neighbors to complain that we're spying on them.

It's just the crows, I swear!
