But did they caw back?

So… do you have good reflexes or did that crow (?) somehow advertise that it’s going to take off or were you just standing there taking pictures for 20 minutes?

I was actually trying to get a picture to see what he was eating! He was doing it very secretively so I was curious. When he took off as soon as I started clicking I assumed I had nothing worth looking at, so you can imagine my surprise later when I saw this was actually a good picture.

I will yank my phone out and snap photos of any bird I see, so for every picture like this I probably have 50 that are trash, haha.
