crows in pairs

It's all in.

I don't typically like to work on Sundays, but the ground was finally dry enough to work this morning. After a month of incessant rains, it was dry enough by week's end that I could at last get the tractor out, work up some beds, and the remaining big block fall and winter plantings got sown by my seat-of-the-pants last-ditch target date of Labor Day.

An hour after the last row of seeds met the dirt, the skies blackened up on the horizon, and the rain rolled in again.  Now that's some good timing.

Some see crows as ill fortune.  Some say crows in pairs are harbingers of good luck.  Lately all my crows seem to be appearing two at a time.  This morning I saw a female crow digging a hole in the tilled ground for a dust bath, like a chicken hen will do, while her partner stood by keeping watch.  Did you know that crows mate for life?

Hi. I found your post while looking for information about crow pairs. The other day, I saw a pair sitting side-by-side atop a building on the campus where I work. They were being very attentive to each other; without binoculars, I couldn't tell exactly what was going on, but it appeared that the crows were touching beaks, and one seemed to be caressing (or grooming?) the other. It was pretty sweet, and I stood and watched for awhile. Nature is endlessly fascinating...

Anyway, thanks for your post.

Crows are commonly found in Asian countries. I never knew that they are found in Paris. This picture looks great and thanks for sharing this with us. I do appreciate your efforts in keeping this blog alive. Keep posting the updates.
