The crows in my area are having a great deal of fun (it seems) trying to get in to the chestnuts or walnuts (?) that are falling right now.
They'll grab one in their mouth (off of the ground? from the tree? not sure) and fly up up up and then let it drop. The hope being, of course, that the drop splits the outer casing enough that they can then get to the tasty (I assume) parts!
So right now, looking out my window, I see crows flying around (not that unusual) but I'll also occasionally hear a small "plonk" type noise of the nut hitting the roof of my parking area or the ground (it makes more noise on the roof I think!)
Earlier this morning I saw a few of them on the parking lot roof and they were making noises I don't think I'd heard before and my interpretation of those noises was "happy" or "content", so I hope they're all having a nice family gathering enjoying good food like many of us did last weekend.
I guess crow Thanksgiving is a week later than human Thanksgiving, today I learned!
