Crow & a Krispy Kreme Doughnut

No eagle sighting today on my round trip over the bridge. It is another beautiful day here, and the recent rain has left the air crystal clear. In Portage Bay, between the Seattle Yacht Club and the houseboat community there are 10 or 12 bright red buoys in the water. Upon every single one of them stood a blue heron today, all of them in the one legged pose they favor. There were a pair of ospreys on lamp posts at mid-span. But neither the herons nor the ospreys could beat the sight of a big Northwest Crow who landed on the stop sign at the top of the 520 off-ramp coming home....with a lovely looking glazed doughnut in his beak. He landed on the sign post, and began to eat his delicacy. It kind of made me want to go buy a bag of doughnuts.
