This crow was right out on the beach gathering nesting materials. What a mouthful!

If I were a bird, I don’t think I’d want to have black feathers in the Florida summer heat. You’d think an all black bird would stay in the shade.  Perhaps the black feathers heat up enough to keep mites and other parasites off the bird.

This crow was seriously gathering a beak-full of what appears to be dried sea oats roots.
