SF Crow Story 3 "Wait for it ..."

SF Crow Story 3 "Wait for it ..." (Corvus cornix)

That's the the crow speaking this time. It's the feeder, now turned trainer, trying to get the crow's timing better so he can master this new pub trick of catching his food in the air. It's also me talking. If you want to know whether the crow caught this one, you'll have to wait. ... a loooong looong time. In fact, forever. I didn't catch that moment and don't even remember it myself. Didn't realize I'd caught this moment until I started editing the results. So this is kind of like the scene when Amy Farrah Fowler tries to train Sheldon Cooper not to be obsessive about completing things (if you're a Big Bang fan, you'll know that scene). But, for any completion obsessives on BF, I can make a guess. My guess is that the crow already had his timing down pat and caught that bread crumb on the fly just a split second after my shutter clicked shut.

LOL Ann... I can't see how he caught it, he's not evening opening his mouth!

A super set this lassie - many thanks for the laugh.
