Diving Crows?!?

We’re used to seeing ducks, cormorants, geese, eagles, and herons fishing in the river behind our home. Today I saw something completely different. I saw some ripples near the shore, indicative of some bird looking for lunch. What I was not expecting was to see a crow surface with a minnow in its beak. I told Julian about what I saw. As usual, he was skeptical – until he saw it himself. Crows are known to be extremely intelligent, but this bird had to have learned it from watching the other birds fish. Nature will always surprise me.
