Day 75: From their vantage point in the Crow Tree, the Breakfast Bunch can watch for activity at any of four locations where they might expect to find food spread for their enjoyment. Of the four, the most reliable spot is my "crow board" where daily handouts of dry dog food and table scraps are provided near dawn. As soon as they hear the door slide back or see me in the yard, the cawing commences, and before I'm back inside, they've gathered like a flurry of black snowflakes on the board, the fence and the ground. In between their scrabblings to gather beaksful of kibble, the Steller's Jays steal a few bites, but there's plenty to go around. No bird ever went hungry begging at my "table!"
