report
Came across this family of Crows yesterday in Birds Hill Park. It reminded me of playing leap frog. The parents were teaching the juveniles how to fly while playing leap frog across the field on the row of boulders. They little ones would stop to be fed by mom and then move on to the next boulder. Dad was pulling up the rear in this shot. Pretty cute to watch.

Nice visual story of these amazing birds
I like that good coloer and movment
You capture a nice documentary shot Debra. The shot is well done and clear. Crows are very intelligent and like to play. This is the perfect shot for the explanation you gave. Hope you had fun too, watching them.
Well displayed across the photo with another object for each of them, Debra. It looks like Mom is doing the teaching here and Dad is staying out of it for now. There's a nice story being told here.
A very interesting view of this crow family teaching their young to fly. I love the composition and activity you've captured here, Debra. It's a wonderful example of how these birds bring up their young and not a sight we get to see very often either. Well seen and captured!
