About Me

I'm retired (2004), live in a Western Washington State suburb with my wife of 46 years. Was born and mostly grew up on West Coast except for 10 years in Grain Belt country. Oh, and 2 years in Cold War Germany.

A Crow Named Sheryl (or Russell)


Here's a picture of a bold crow who started hanging around on the deck in the past week. Since she's that bold, I have made a couple of attempts to get her to come take a peanut from my hand, but haven't had any luck so far--she expects to have her peanuts tossed onto the carport roof. Once the peanuts are there she collects the first one, walks over to the second one and sets the first down right beside the second. Then she picks both of them up so they are stacked in her beak then flies off to eat them.

I too have a crow, who has a crippled foot. So I feed it cookies--which I placed on the mailbox on the street at first, but have 'led' him (I call him Gimp) to the back patio, where I place water and more cookies. He flits in and out, usually early in the morning and late in the day.

Thank you for adding my 'wildspiritjim' blog. I'm almost 70, retired military. Never made it to Washington State (closest I got was Portland, 8 years after the Mt. St. Helen's eruption.)

Have a great Monday, my friend.
