Monday

Ha, I went with "choose random icon" and this is what DW picked. Okay then. *g*

Bright sun, blue sky, GIANT CROWS IN THE BACKYARD, scooping up as much corn as they could carry in their GIANT BEAKS and flying away with it (presumably to cache it somewhere). 45 degrees (7.2 degrees Celsius) with a light breeze out of the northeast.

Need to fold laundry, etc., and clean shrimp for a new recipe we're going to try. Also looking forward to tonight's House. In the meantime, have some puppies -- African wild dog puppies, born recently at the Brookfield Zoo, just outside Chicago.

These crows really are beautiful -- their feathers are shiny, their eyes are bright, they look very healthy. They're just so big. :-D

You're entirely certain they're not ravens?

[nightdog_barks]

Yep, I've seen ravens. These guys' beaks are smaller, their necks aren't as big, and their call is a distinctive cawing sound.

They're just ... really big crows. *g*

Is this when I make the obligatory joke about specific US regions and growth patterns within?

[pwcorgigirl]

I think West Nile Virus resulted in a race of Super Crows. Only the strongest ones survived it, and now they're mating and making some crow-zilla babies.

[nightdog_barks]

This. Some of them you'd need both hands to pick up. Not that I would.

:-D
