I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

I know. These big crows rarely (as in never) come up and get something to eat, but I’d been feeding everyone (including the squirrels) on the deck railing, so I guess those peanuts were easy pickings.

Yes, he’s a bit of a pig. But he hardly ever comes around, so I figure I can spare a few peanuts. He wasn’t interested in the oiler seeds.

He’s a big old crow…or a raven maybe, I can’t tell the difference.

Yes, he was very much a pig. I hope he ate them all, or shared them with another crow somewhere.

Oh well, ya know, maybe that crow she’s taking them home to feed her family. Ha, but it’s a pretty fun photo! 🙂

Great series! I’m going to defend the crow, who is taking advantage of abundance, never a sure thing for wild creatures.

The Crow or Raven has a big mouth full! It is hard to tell them apart…I guess the Raven is larger …how do you tell unless you see them side by side:) Hi to Princess Katie!

These guys were huge ,so I’m going to say they are ravens. After all, who’s going to argue?
