There must be a horse nearby.
Got any bird pics?

Our neighbor's cat is king of the neighborhood. He was strolling down the street yesterday and 2 crows were giving him a hard time. They were diving close, but just out of his range. They know he's that dude. He had that look like "Come on, just try it".
Get a beagle, They eat their own turds. You only need to feed them once...
Seriously? If so, now I know why I have so few dog poops to pick up. I've seen the crows where she likes to poop. I figured it was insects like beetles.

Yeah, seriously. I went out to confirm I saw what I thought I saw. I wanted to think it ate a slug or something like that off the turd pile, but no, it was a small, oblong, hardened turd. I'm quite confident. It picked it up, flew with it to a low stone wall, and down the hatch. It then acted like it might cough it back up, almost like it was gagging, I sh*t you not, head down, beak slightly open. But, it kept it down.
I was thinking maybe this was just a random coprophiliac crow, which is bad enough, but if this behavior spans the state, thereby implying a possible species predilection, not just a Seattle crow individual or even local cultural degeneracy, well then, crows get a few demerits in my mind. Hence, disappointed.
I have a family of 3 degenerate crows that wash all manner of nonsense in all the bird baths I have. It has become disgusting and I have to sweep the baths sometimes two times a day and will leave them unfilled for days. Definitely since COVID the Corvids have brain rot or something. They are no longer endearing or cute....
A group of 2-4 crows with pick through dog poop in out backyard fairly regularly
I'll have to see if I can catch them in the act and get a pic. I'll go weeks without seeing a turd, and we've been playing a lot of badminton, volleyball, and tackle soccer so we'd know.CAUTION

Nope, not a local, random act of disgustingness. 25+ years ago while camping at Cape Lookout SP, I watched a trio of crows descend upon a still steaming poodle loaf. It's owner didn't feel the need to pick it up, but not that it mattered. They wolfed it down in seconds with apparent relish. I was similarly disappointed.
Hmmmm, with all this poop talk I'll have to check for regurgitated pellets under this roost. The owlet remained there for a couple hours after I photographed it this morning. When I found him at eye level, I stood there and waited until the rising sun finally illuminated his perch to get these photos. One of the parents was roosting about 100 yards away.
And this is the third year in a row Western Flycatchers (formerly Pacific Slope) have nested successfully in the eves of my cabin porch. They're always a cheerful bird to have around.

It's always a big treat when we get some Riseform pics!

Do you take down the old flycatcher nest after the young fledge? Just curious.
They obviously like that spot!
In the past I've set my Wyze cam next to the nest and watched them feed and eventually fledge. That small cam is currently monitoring my watering hole that had another spa visit from a bear yesterday.
I usually take the nest down in the winter after everything has migrated. Apparently a western flycatcher can live six years, so I have no idea if it's the same pair or their offspring that return to the same location each year.
some 3rd of July Eagles- really flat light...
There's a Junco nest somewhere in our garden, this guy was hanging out making sure coast was clear before heading to the nest

I got a few yesterday. Some of these birds I know, some of them I don’t. Some of the pics are decent and some aren’t
. Birds in flight are still hard for me. The Golden Eagle was here and gone quickly!
