Jackdaw



I love watching them when they seem to be entirely involved in watching me. For more birds visit World Bird Wednesday

My favourite member of the crow family.
I love their beautiful light eyes and have a great view of them in a big tree behind my little garden.

Careful Joo, he looks like he wants to move in!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.

Lovely views joo. I don't think a Jackdaw has actually dropped in on us here but regularly fly over.

These birds, I believe, are relatively social and unafraid. Still, you did very well getting such good photos of them!

I like how you were able to capture their 'midnight' color. Such lovely coloring.
He seems to be looking at his shadow too. :)
Nice shots!

You want me to use english, don't you? Your bird is fine! But to know that it is unusally smart bird that is seeking human contact is special. Really nice pictures!

I love to hear Jackdaws. In English their name is just perfect cause that's how they sound "jack-daw"

Very cool shots, Joo!

Nothing like observing nature.
These guys are pretty fast and quick in their movement, always on the lookout for some other bird from whom they can grab a morsel.
