Suet Loving Crow
I have a crow in the backyard who loves suet and has even figured out how to use the upside-down suet feeder. As you can see, the suet feeder is pretty small. I have a hard time understanding why this crow would go to so much effort to extract a few beakfuls of suet. Plus the entire time the crow is here, it's being harassed by common grackles. Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing this series of photos showing the crow's determination to obtain a tasty, peanutty treat.

Funny series Ruthie! He must really crve a peanutty snack.
Hmmm....I could go for....
Those pics are so cool of that crow stealing suet. They are as clever as squirrels but not as agile.

Great pictures, Ruthie. Ya gotta wonder just how much "thinking" they do when attempting a feat such as that!
How funny! He's one determined dude for sure!
Those are some really fun photos!
Hi Lynne,
I didn't realize crows were that agile (or loved peanuts that much!)
Thanks Mom. I think crows are smarter than squirrels.
Thanks Mama Pea. I wonder that too. I would think there's plenty around here for them to eat, but suet must be a special treat worth working for.
You got that right Jayne! And the mesh screen holding that suet isn't that big either, so I don't know how he can get his big beak in there.
Thanks Bonnie. I was happy they turned out pretty good (even through the window screen).
That crow looks so out of place, like you pasted a silhouette on the feeder. Great pictures!
Both series of photographs of the crow and of the squirrel are quite humorous, as well as, enlightening in their determination for a treat. Thank you, Ruthie, for sharing them with us. You certainly do have an interesting array of visitors to your yard.
