Countrymom, that is so neat about the crows. They only fly over our place, but never land here.

Very nice pictures, Hack and duc. :) I like Canada geese and I sure have a soft spot for Mourning Doves. I don't know why it bothers me so, but it was so upsetting to have Iowa allow a dove hunting season beginning last year. According to other birders, the Mourning Dove population exploded this year. Some one said they hope the doves get themselves into the towns where hunting isn't allowed.

Here's two more by the little guy... There was a whole series, but these are my favorites. There was a picture of this Orchard Oriole standing in the water, calm. But then dipped its bill in the water and for some reason it just shot up in the air. Other pictures showed it flapping above the water, before landing off to the side.
