I'm not afraid

These days seven of them have taken up semi-permanent residency in the yard. They cannot resist the lure of the peanuts. This one is checking out the old man in the Adirondack hiding behind that giant contraption and watching his right hand clutching the Krombacher to soothe a parched throat. Normally they are very jittery and take off before I even have the chance to get me and my equipment outside. I suspect she was comfortable in the knowledge that there would be no way for the old guy to extricate himself from the Adirondack, get his legs disentangled from the tripod, set down the beer carefully so that no unnecessary spillage would occur and engage in a possible yet somewhat unlikely frontal assault. Translation: I’m not afraid. And thus we both remained enjoying a great summer day and forgetting about the insanity of the state of the world. All of it made so much easier by the fact it was a Sunday and Canada Day. Yes, and that Krombacher helped as well.

And for those of you wondering what this is, it's a crow. Actually, super crow.
