sunning
The crows in the yard do this funny pose when they are sunning their wings. I have read that sunning their feathers like this helps reduce feather mites and other creepy crawlies. Both of my yard crows do this several times a day when it’s sunny out. They really enjoy it, too.

molting
The crows are almost done molting their feathers. I give them their own water dish to encourage them to leave the duck dishes alone.

whoops
They perch on the side of the water dish and tip it over when they take off. It works out okay, because then I refill it with fresh water. They visit the water dish every time I’m out in the yard with the ducks.

happy
When they sun, they particularly like to perch on the astroturf. I believe they like how it’s at an angle facing the sun. At other times of year when the sun is in a different part of the sky, they sun on the roof of the house at a different angle. These solar powered crows are very smart.

Happy sunning, you weirdo crows.
