Crows

I was surprised this morning to see a lot of crows eating some of the over-ripened squash that I threw out in the back yard last night.  I was thinking that the deer would enjoy it!  I mentioned it to my wife that I was surprised to see the crows eating it and she was surprised that I was surprised.  She said “Well, why wouldn’t they eat it?  They are scavengers after all!”

To be honest, I don’t really know why it surprised me.  Maybe I just expected the squash to be already gone by sunrise!  After all, we DO have a small herd of deer that frequent our yard every day!
