Back at the birdbath

My crow has returned.

He's the huge black bird who would eat his breakfast on the edge of my birdbath every morning, dipping his food in the water and sometimes leaving greasy bones behind in the bowl. (See Breakfast on the birdbath post.)

He was out there this morning, pecking hard with his beak against the frozen water to no avail. He jumped up and down and few times on the hard unyielding surface, cawed loudly and then flew off.
