I'll never look at them the same way again. (Our family, with much Indian heritage, has many superstitions about birds...) Thanks for sharing these awesome shots. xoMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1858454538187432037.post-10422097143434273272014-05-02T06:46:05.797-07:002014-05-02T06:46:05.797-07:00After viewing these images, I feel like a crow wat...After viewing these images, I feel like a crow watching a crow.<br /><br />:-)<br /><br />And that is very good.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
