Leave it to me to find interesting birds to photograph while at my campsite this past weekend. Here are some photos I took awhile back on another camping trip: Blue Jays The Campground Thief
Recent research has found some crow species capable not only of tool use but of tool construction as well. Crows are now considered to be among the world’s most intelligent animals.

great!
Great photos, Steve! It doesn’t surprise me that crows are interesting subjects to photograph given how smart they are.
Appears the crow is looking for a cold drink, just like the rest of us on a hot day!

WOW! What a great capture
Very smart bird -crow !!
I first thought he had a “diamond” in his beak – but your caption said it all!!! You certainly are King of interesting animals and birds to photograph!!!
Maybe “Mr. Crow” was waiting for some Vodka & 7 to go with the Ice. Do ya think? Very smart bird!!!! Loved the capture! Great work as always.
Love these photos. I’ve never seen a bird eat ice before. Guess he wanted a cool drink too.
Excellent photo, usually a crow would be hard to make interesting!
That could be me! I’ve been eating ice all day. Sooooo hot! Smart crow! Excellent capture.
Beautiful photo and an excellent capture. I love crows.
This is spectacular! I’m so fond of crows and although I love photographing them, I find the tolerance for the photographer varies from family to family. This is a scene I’ve never witnessed before — an ice cube. I love it.
