This is "Roy" I don't know why I call him Roy. It just seems to suit him. We have 100's of crows in our neighborhood but Roy and his mate are the only ones who hang around my yard. He will sit up in a high tree and "caw" to let me know he is there. I put out peanuts for him. He is too shy to let me get very close and only comes down to get his peanuts when I am a safe distance away. I hope one day I can gain his trust and he will perch on my arm!
I have a bird feeder on my deck. It's been very cold and snowy. With the scarcity of food he has flown onto my deck to get some peanuts. I was able to get this shot when he didn't know I was watching!

Congratulations to you and Roy! :) This is such an unusual shot because of the clarity of Roy and the snow falling on him. How can you not just love this shot and feel good the the bird has you to feed him.
i'm sorry but when i looked at this challenge intending to vote i realized i didnt have enough time ..
this stood out as one of the best in the challenge and was my absolute favourite .. and i would have loved to have given this a 10 .. looks like you didnt need it though .
MANY CONGRATS ON THE BLUE .. so well deserved .. :)
btw .. i loved reading your story .. and i did laugh .. i entered a koala in the extended fs in april 23 .. i called him Kevin ..
anyway .. it would be amazing if Roy ended up perching on your arm .. crows are so intelligent that i'm sure it will happen .. animals are good judges of character most of the time .. :)
