A couple of days ago, I was sitting next to the window when a Crow flew down and dropped half a bagel in the bird bath. He returned about an hour later to retrieve beakfulls of soggy bagel.
Every afternoon or evening since then, he's shown up again with hamburger buns and dropped them into the bird bath to soak. This is hugely entertaining for me, despite needing to wash out the bird bath every day so that the water doesn't get gross. I assume that someone is throwing stale bread out for the birds. But it was fun at first to wonder if the Crow was stealing buns from someone's backyard picnic table.
The in-shell peanuts are also a big hit, but I haven't seen a Crow come around early in the morning like they used to in order to load up before the squirrels got them all.
