This Bad Boy is the Villain of my feeder. He seems to know exactly when I put out bird food of the type he likes. Within minutes, he’s marauding around the feeder throwing food-bits left and right until he discovers the treat he is looking for : )
American Crows are large, intelligent, all-black birds with hoarse, cawing voices. They are common sights in treetops, fields, and roadsides, and in habitats ranging from open woods and empty beaches to town centers. They usually feed on the ground and eat almost anything – typically earthworms, insects and other small animals, seeds, and fruit but also garbage, carrion, and chicks they rob from nests.
American Crows congregate in large numbers in winter to sleep in communal roosts. These roosts can be of a few hundred up to two million crows. Some roosts have been forming in the same general area for well over 100 years. In the last few decades some of these roosts have moved into urban areas where the noise and mess cause conflicts with people.
Young American Crows do not breed until they are at least two years old, and most do not breed until they are four or more. In most populations the young help their parents raise young for a few years. Families may include up to 15 individuals and contain young from five different years.
Crows sometimes make and use tools. Examples include a captive crow using a cup to carry water over to a bowl of dry mash; shaping a piece of wood and then sticking it into a hole in a fence post in search of food; and breaking off pieces of pine cone to drop on tree climbers near a nest.
The oldest recorded wild American Crow was at least 16 years 4 months old when it was recaptured and rereleased during a banding operation in New York. A captive crow in New York lived to be 59 years old.

Sasha and I found this scared and hungry fellow in the dumpster by North Point Marina. The dumpster was very big and he couldn't get out without help.
To find long piece of wood around the marina was almost impossible, so we ran to the woods next to the marina and found old big branch on the ground.
It was very heavy but my 9 year old didn't complain so I didn't :-).
The second we put the branch into the dumpster he came out. I didn't have a chance get my camera.
He looked at us for couple seconds and ran away.
Every photograph in order to be successful should convey a message to its viewer ... A message sometimes subtle and vague, while others strong and profound.
A frame with a latent underlying message is what we have here ... A photo that consists of two mutually contradictory both physically and symbolically elements that are nevertheless "condemned" by an act of fate to a harmonic, pleasant to the eye and not likely to easily come across elsewhere symbiosis ...
A stony, tiny in size underground blockhouse still stands in one piece against all odds .. A second world war remnant that still holds its "proud" figure intact ... This symbol that reminds us of man's insatiable, hostile and aggressive nature is being "attacked" this time by a fully blossomed almond tree that "decided" to become its long-term partner in life ...
A scene that bears a strong anti-war message, a truly optimistic scene .... Devoted to all of you who are fed up with the unbelievable ugliness that lurks around our lives lately ...

2016, although really weird politically, has been a very successful year on flickr for me.

Having successfully traversed the spiral tunnels and the Kicking Horse Pass, CP 1401 winds its way through the S curves on the approach to control point Ottertail. Having shot this location in the past, I knew this scene with the peak of Mt. Carnarvon in Yoho National Park off in the distance was a must when I was location planning for this trip.

Das tägliche Ritual, Ihr kennt es alle, der/die Eine geht trällernd ins Bad, die/der Andere ist ein Morgenmuffel, der nicht gerne am Morgen angesprochen werden möchte. Die Lerche und die Nachtigall, ich gehöre in die zweite Kategorie.
Nachdem Frühstück mache ich mich für den Tag fertig, ein Blick in den Spiegel, er hat eine wichtige Rolle indem morgendlichen Ritual und los geht es. Das was Ihr auf meinem Foto seht, gehört dazu. Ohne Rouge auf meinen Lippen und eine leichte Korrektur meiner Augenbrauen gehe ich nicht aus dem Haus, einige kleine Spritzer Parfüm, e voila, fertig!. Nun kann der Tag beginnen.
Ich wünsche Euch einen erfolgreichen und sonnigen Tag, liebe Freunde.
The daily ritual, you all know it, one goes to the bathroom singing, the other is a morning grouch who does not want to be addressed in the morning. The lark and the nightingale, I belong in the second category.
After breakfast I get ready for the day, a look in the mirror, he has an important role by morning ritual and off it goes. What you see in my photo is part of it. Without blush on my lips and a slight correction of my eyebrows I do not leave the house, some small splashes of perfume, e voila, done! Now the day can begin.
Have a successful and sunny day, dear friends.
Le rituel quotidien, vous le savez tous, l'un va aux toilettes en chantant, l'autre est un grincheux du matin qui ne veut pas être abordé le matin. L'alouette et le rossignol, j'appartiens à la deuxième catégorie.
Après le petit déjeuner, je me prépare pour la journée, un regard dans le miroir, il a un rôle important par le rituel du matin et c'est parti. Ce que vous voyez sur ma photo en fait partie. Sans rougir sur mes lèvres et une légère correction de mes sourcils je ne sors pas de la maison, quelques petites éclaboussures de parfum, et voilà , c'est fait ! Maintenant, la journée peut commencer.
Having successfully kept Rebel Rooster under his protective care, Jasper stood tall and proud. It was a rousing chase around the family room.
I use the term "under protective care" loosely. On Rebel Rooster's first day with Jasper, he lost an eyeball to Jasper's teeth. But luckily, in between being a fighter jet pilot and being a nuclear physicist, I spent some time as an eye surgeon so I was able to reattach Rebel's eyeball and he's fully stereoscopic again.
