I often refer to the large number of crows in the neighborhood as, “those stupid crows”. In actuality they are very intelligent burds. Sandy observed as the garbage collectors made their rounds the crows waited nearby. As soon as the garbage can was set down the “stupid” crows swooped in for the rib leftovers.

On the road again..
Yesterday I had to go to Modesto then on to Porterville. So of course I had to stop by one of my favorite places Bravo Farms in Traver. The food is okay but I go for the animals.
Murphy

Mid Term
I was away on Tuesday. When I arrived home I noticed Judy was a bit excited I think she voted for the Green party. Ha, they’ll never win.
Livermore Wildlife
Today I had a call in Livermore, out by Wente Vineyards. I decided to take my cam as I always see something out in the countryside.
