@ct_bergstrom when I moved a year ago there was a crow family of 5 living in a tall tree in the new backyard. I fed them unsalted peanuts in the shell almost every morning and they started to perch on a pole and call for me to come out with the treats. They suddenly all disappeared without a trace last month and I didn't realize how attached I'd become to them until they were no longer around.

I worry about them the way you worry about a lost pet and wonder if a neighbor harmed them or they just decided it was time to try someplace new. Anyway, I remembered your older guides on this when I first met them and referred back to it. Hopefully I'll make some new crow pals at some point again in the future.
