Crows and Water: Some of my favorite shots

I love a good freeze-frame of crows drinking or soaking their food in water. Something about the black birds and the sparkly water droplets just does it for me.

This is Lorena, partner of Bo ( #bothecrow), after retrieving a soaked kibble from her water tub.

Crows close their membranous eyelid when they splash around in order to protect their eyes. I think the look enhances the intrigue of the image.

This is Junior. Younger sister of Bo. Her dad, Lod, on the right. 
Is she a crow or a fountain?

Junior, hangin' out by the pool.

[Prince Biggie.](https://peakd.com/hive-106444/@corvidae/smap-contest-round-32-biggie-the-baby-crow-and-the-sugar-plum) Just a little baby droplet for a baby crow.

Crows love water. They are avid water drinkers and love to soak their food. They also like to play with water, like Bo, here.

And his younger sister, Junior. Water tipping must run in the family.

It's impossible not to smile at your images, they are beautiful, the water and the crows make too striking a duo. Congratulations, your work and the connection you have with these animals is unique and great.

These photos are really great, how much patience do you have to have to wait for the best moment for the photo? 

It's pretty cool that you share your love for these animals with us. As always, awesome job man!

Thank you!!
It's not so much patience as it is love. I enjoy spending time with them, and also enjoy photographing them. They like my company, too. And my endless supply of water and snacks.
 What's nice about digital photography is being able to capture multiple frames per second. It helps me learn more about the crows. Little things like facial expressions that I might not have noticed with ocular observation or even video.
