It's Friday night and I'm watching the Canucks cream the Jets and wishing the boys could've played this good the last five billion games ...

Every week @nelinoeva hosts a fun contest in the Feathered Friends Community. This week's theme is Birds and People. And so of course I h...

At first glance she might look ordinary. Just another crow, trying to make it in the big city. You'd never guess that this crow, this...

My buddy. My best crow buddy. Bo. He braved a rainstorm today to come visit me at my window. Trespassed, even. On another crow family's...

I've fallen in love with another family. I met them a few weeks ago. Then drove 90 minutes last weekend to visit them again. They live i...

Bo's hot face. He keeps his mouth open to cool down. According to Audubon.org, they don't pant like dogs, but rather flutter the muscles ...

Ok, so they aren't really autumn colors, they're late summer colors. But it's been a blistering hot summer, so I'm already dreaming of fa...

Crows fascinate me. They are intelligent, crafty, beautiful, and fun to watch. I have a crow friend I call Bo. I spend a lot of time with...

This week during some of the time I spent with Bo, my wild American Crow buddy, I had the opportunity to learn something new: not all cro...

This is the last picture I took of Minnow. It's been more than a week since Minnow disappeared. It's been really hard. I didn't realize ...

While I generally loathe the use of the word "literally" in figurative descriptions and recounts, the week literally started wi...

It's not easy! Parents dive bomb you to protect their babies, and if you want to stay in the crows' good graces, you best not linger. But...

This is Minnow. In last week's blog I was talking about trying to figure out a name for Bo and Lorena's baby. I was hemming and hawing o...

My crow friends Bo and Lorena were both yelling about something to other crows recently. I happened to be in just the right spot to captu...

I decided to take the plunge and sign up for the full shebang in the Lightroom photo editing app for a whopping $4.99 a month. It's actua...

So I discovered this week that Bo loves cherries. It's cherry season, and they're growing on trees throughout the neighborhood. Bo doesn'...

You know that coworker type, the one who just became a grandparent and won’t stop showing you picture after picture of some baby you wil...

This is Bo. He's a wild crow. And somehow, magically, he loves and trusts me, enough to eat out of my hand, stand on my head, and let me ...

In case you were unaware of the true purpose of a car's sunroof, I just wanted to guide you to the path of clarity: This was recorded la...

So, admittedly, all I did this week outside of eat, sleep, and work, was run around the block where Bo and Lorena live taking pictures of...

A while back I made a post about the challenges of making crows look good in black and white photography. It's a fun challenge, though, s...

I took these shots backlit so that the low afternoon sun would shine through the water like a prism. I didn't need a flash because the b...

I love my relationship with these birds. When I take pictures of them, it doesn't feel like wildlife photography. It feels like portraits...

Sunlight through Bo's sublingual pouch. Cool shot, isn't it? Makes him look like a dragon. But the real reason it looks like that is bec...

Trying to give an urban hike the #monomad experience. I owe this bumblebee five bucks for making this image worthwhile. I wonder what she...

Even when his face is encrusted with baby poop, he still looks good. It was a fun week, albeit a little slow. Crows everywhere are busy ...

Lately I've been getting into learning how to capture clear, crisp images of birds in action and in flight. I have a fantastic camera (Ni...

Hi everyone! I've been toying with the idea of having a Throwback Thursday for my corvid pictures and videos, since I have, oh, maybe ten...

This week started out with lots of activity. Bo was coming to my window all the time, walking right in like he owned the place. He sure ...
