thank you, Carol. I loved the three dimensional effect when I photographed it, too.

Lesa, Thank you for taking the time to look at 'for the birds' and for sharing your experiences in your comments, too! I love your logo and site... I miss the intense interest the crows gave us for over a decade...and am still not sure what happened but I miss them.

One of my favorite birds, you capture them very well here. v/f
Betty Pieper replied:
How nice of you to honor this collage, Andy. We so love our crows...and baby them badly. Likely on the fourth or fifth generation now. They wait for our tidbits every AM and get rowdy if we're late.

Thank you. I love our crows. I used a threesome as our holiday card. If I do some pen and ink soon they will be the first subjects I suspect.

wow, Betty, I love your drawing collage! Beautifully captured the birds with a wonderful composition! Well done!

Thank you. I think I missed your nice comment for a time. I remember your stunning photos of baby birds in a nest outside your window. I used to think that people who studied birds had nothing better to do but finally I 'get it' and feel in awe of our feathered friends!
