Media notes
As one crow bathes with water-flying enthusiasm, the other seems to keep watch.
Observation details
Canada Geese were swimming along the edge of the lake. Two AMCRs landed on the edge, seeming to be quite deliberate in their choice of a spot that was in the midst of the line of swimming geese. While one crow watched (guarded?), the second crow bathed with gusto. The geese seemed to glance at the crows as they swam past them, but otherwise ignored them. "Merlin" says no crow in second photo.
