A scene in a forest of a large tree covered in moss and lichen with ferns growing out of it, all up and down and around the trunk. There is another tree next to it, without any ancillary growth on it, and more trees, plants, vines, and leaves next to it on the other side.

A crow at the Edmonds Marina Beach Park, hopeful I'll throw it a peanut or two

(I obliged, dear reader, of course I did! 🥜 😊)

#Birds #Crows #Corvids #Birdscrolling #Edmonds #Nature #Photography #FeatheredFriends #LookAtMe
A black crow standing on a chain link fence and looking directly into the camera. The edge of its beak almost looks transparent because of the angle and the lighting. The background is blurred and light in color.

A brown, gray, black, and white Cooper's hawk in a tree. It has a buff colored chest with white spots, a tail that is black and gray striped, and dark yellow eyes with large black pupils. It is in a tree that has lost its leaves so there are scraggly branches all around and a pale overcast sky in the background.
