I photographed this American Crow eating ice while camping at Mount Magazine State Park here in Arkansas (Sept. 2010). When the people camping next to me dumped some ice on the ground. This American Crow flew down and began eating one of the ice chips.
When I saw the Crow fly down, I got my camera and began photographing it. It surprised me when it picked up an ice cube and began eating it.
