The Crows took a liking to my front bird bath this summer and decided to bring Junior with them!! He frequents the bath quite a number of times a day which means I'm filling it quite often!! Both Mom and Dad sit in the tree to keep a watchful eye and squawk when there's danger. Lorena[IMG][/IMG]

Lorena,

Are you sure that's not a raven instead of a crow? It looks too big (based on what I'm guessing is the size of the birdbath) to be a crow, and the size of the bill and the "rough" look to the feathers suggests raven as well.

Definitely a cool bird to have visit the bath!

Hi Kevin, Ravens aren't very common in this area but that would be very cool if it were!

It's Summer!

It is large! You can tell the difference between a crow and a raven by their call if not their size. They don't sound anything alike. They fly over my house periodically chased by a bunch of crows.

I bet that is a young raven that's pretty neat!

Whichever it is, it is one very big baby!
