What a weekend of gifts! The snowy owl was pretty awesome, that was such an exotic bird to me when I looked at it in field guides as a kid. And I got to drive underneath one on Saturday evening! Also, artist Marcy Hall sent us a HUGE vibrant portrait of Cinnamon (above). She's selling the image on shirts, bags, mugs and cards and 10% of the sales goes to the Minnesota Companion Rabbit Association.
While I was doing some writing, I looked out the kitchen window to see some crow flirting going on--not behavior I would expect to see in December in Minnesota! It was hard to get a great photo, we have our storm windows in and I didn't want to open them since that would scare them off--crows are so cagey. I did get about seven seconds of video:
Thank you so much for the crow courting footage! I have been missing crows - it seemed like until this year their numbers have been so low here in town. They are roosting in huge numbers near Bryn Mawr Meadows - just like old times. Have I just not been looking in the right places the last few years or did any one else notice a dearth of crows?
Thanks again for all you do, Sharon, for birds, bees and bunnies!

Holy crap! Thank you Marcy and Sharon for supporting MCRS. I know I'm ordering the lotus dutch!
