 I was driving to my Christmas destination, and I saw a few crows, with the challenge in mind I snapped a few shots. When this guy came along, jumped in the dumpster and grabbed a Big Mac box, I knew I had the opportunity to show a bird in it's real "natural" environment.

I think I'm going to get nailed, but I liked the shot, and I figure it's fun enough just to read the comments..

I thought about using this image:

Probably would have done better, but I just didn't like it as well..

And he scored a lot of calories, I see! Smart birds, crows (and/or ravens). Although this one may have cholesterol problems =:-O
