Or is it? I'm far from a bird watcher, and I really have no idea what this is. A very large black bird, a crow, a mag pie. What I do know is there are tons of them by my work. They are noisy, and somewhat mean to the smaller birds in the area. They don't hurt them, but as you watch the smaller birds gather twigs and such for their nests these big things swoop in and scare them away. They are always around. Doesn't matter the time of day or weather. Every time I see them I watch and think of this ...................
just thought I'd share that. LOL
Today it is in the 40's, it's dark and gloomy but no rain yet. It did rain throughout the evening and I heard a few booms of thunder. They are saying the temps will drop again and we have a chance of wet snow. Oh the joy! Nothing like a few flakes in April. NOT!!!
I'm off to shop. For me.. OMG! Can you believe it? I hate shopping.... yes a female that hates to shop. I need new slacks for work. I have winter ones and summer ones but nothing for in between. I need something that fits and isn't falling off me. Wish me luck!!
Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
Hugs

Thats a crow-we have them all over here in Washington-great picture and I see some blue sky-yippee! Happy shopping!
That looks like a crow. They make a loud caw sound. I hate to shop too girlfriend. I usually do all my shopping on line for clothes. The only real shopping I do is my once-a-month trip to Walmart to stock up on food and other stuff. lol.
Hugs, Joyce
crows are creepy.
crow gets my vote. :)

Ooh...you went shopping and didn't even invite ME?!?! What were you thinking?! lol!
I'm pretty sure that it's a blackbird....well, it's a bird and is black..so there..lol!
Love ya
xxxxx
I have to agree with you ....I do not like shopping either ...but hope you had fun!!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend
Ok here is a little bird trivia for you. Blackbirds generally have small orange-yellow beaks. Magpies believe it or not are a combination blk/white bird, more blk. Crows which is the above have shorter beaks and bodies. Raven's you couldn't miss - are rather large and daunting. If you ever see a crow and raven next to one another you won't miss the raven, it will tower over the crow.
Love the picture! People tend to get all the blk birds mixed up from time to time. I thought it might interest you to know the easy tell a tale signs.
As for shopping, I'm another one who dreads it. I don't know, perhaps it's my age showing and I no longer have patience for the crowds and general store atmsosphere. (Hugs) Indigo
its black lol looks like a jackdaw whatever its well fed take care mort xx

Hope you find what you are looking for while you are out shopping.
Today in PA it has been 79 degrees!!! It has been so nice and nice to get my kids out of the house! Sucks that you might be getting some snow.....ugh, I would hate that especially after the nice weather we have been getting.
Nice picture of the bird! We some beautiful birds around our house....I'm actually looking for a bird feeder to place in my yard but want one that allows me to put in 3-4 different kinds of seed.
Hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend
Hugs

((((((((((((((((HUGSTOYOU)))))))))))))))))))Have a nice weekend.
Looks like a crow ......... you hate to shop??? OMG!!! Someone help her!
I love the photo! I'm not sure what it is either, though! I don't think it's a crow, but I may very well be mistaken.
I love to shop, but it's frustrating trying to find clothes that actually fit me!
Enjoy your what remains of the weekend!

The first time I heard this song was when Carly sang it on Ameerican Idol a few weeks ago.... funny!!
Joann
Wasn't that from the white album? I've never been a big Beatles fan. We had sleet here today. (grumblegrumble)

Enjoyed the song. I hope it warms up for you soon. It's over 90° here. Just awful! We forgot Spring and went right into Summer! UGH!
Have a good night rest,

LOVED seeing Mr. McCartney. Rick calls those birds "the thieves". He says they steal the other birds foods and he will sit and watch them for hours. Raining and funky in Ohio too. I think it would be fun to shop with you but i do not like to shop either because i am fat and can not fit in the clothes! LOVE YOU SO
Love Paul one of my favorite songs...love v
good luck with the shopping, i am usless at buying clothes for me and the kids!!LOL take care mrs t xx

Looks like a fat crow to me but what do I know...lol? It is cold and dreary here today, yuck. It was sleeting when I got home from grocery shopping but, as you know, this is petty typical for this area for April and even May. Love ya, Chris
Nice pic........... no sure could be a blackbird...looks to small for a crow....... and i think starlings are lighter brown and spottier ...lol... well the ones that come to feed on my roof are .
Hope you enjoyed your shopping trip and got what you needed
