Sorry it's my first day eating food
Sleepy baby is back. Parent is keeping an eye on them. I'm not sure if the shouting is for me being too close, or at the baby for being such a dunce. Hoping this one makes it! It's tough to figure out how food goes into your beak.

Is this guy not an American Crow or are they a juvenile? Shows up with the crows, looks and sounds like one but has long legs, different colored eyes and brown feathers in the light. And they’re clumsier than the others.

This guy caught a ride with me a couple of years back.
Smart buggers.

Juneau Ravens
Vacationing in Alaska this past July and while we were in Juneau I came within arm’s length of these majestic beauties a few times. Where I am from, there are many more Crows than Ravens (though not rare, but not necessarily Common l o l) and to be alongside them in Juneau, and really throughout SE Alaska, was an awesome experience. I have always misidentified them from afar, but when they fly down next to you and you feel the wind from their wings, it makes you say “Holy F*ck, so THAT’s a Raven!”
P.S.
In honor of this trip being part of my honeymoon (and also geeking out over spending a bunch of time with various Ravens), I got a tattoo of two mated Ravens to cement the memories.

Leaving my crowbros for a few months
I've managed to make a few crow friends over the past two months (family of two adult crows and a very skwawky juvenile, ha). They visit two times a day for cashews, almonds, and sometimes a little bit of meat. We chat and hang out on the balcony, and I even get some bows and bobs from afar. It been very fun and sweet (though my neighbors have not enjoyed the juvenile's demands at mealtimes ;)). All this to say, I'll be leaving for a few months but I hate to just up and disappear on them. Will they remember me when I'm back? Will they be mad that I left? Should I be weaning them down to only one snack time a day? I don't want crow enemies, but also they just give me blank stares when I explain I'm about to leave for a while. ;) Any advice?

Too tuckered out to get this peanut open
I ended up opening a few peanuts for the sleepy baby. Too tired to fly away from me and my scary black rectangle too.

It's happening! The crow I have been giving peanuts to brought some friends
I hope my neighbors don't mind the occasional visit from these guys. They seem pretty cool

Sad about letting my murder down
The sewer line at the bottom of my driveway was opened for repairs last week. It took several days (and nights) and we now have unwanted guests. Rats! I found one in my feeder for small birds a few days ago, so all feeders came down and I stopped feeding the crows since I saw a rat dart in and grab a piece of the crow's dog kibble (I stopped kibble immediately).
I've stopped feeding my murder and I feel terrible about it, but I'm going to put down some peppermint oil deterrent tomorrow where crows, pets and kids won't get them.
I know the crows have other people feeding them nearby and they'll be fine, but I doubt they'll come back if and when I can resume feeding them.
Other than resume my peanut-pocket walks, which is how the feeding started, I can't think of anything else to do.
I'll make sure garbage bin lids are tight, and no human food is left outside.
Thoughts? (Please no negativity.)
