I took this shot through the back door to the deck just before breakfast this morning. That's Skitter, one of our barn cats who moved out with us from Montana last year. Every morning she comes up to the deck when she hears us in the kitchen, then climbs up on to the railing to peer into the kitchen window to see what we're doing. ("Having breakfast. What do you think we're doing?")
About the same time every morning this summer, on the other side of the house, we have an obnoxious crow that flies in, lands on the ramp railing by the front door, caws loudly, and — this is special — pecks madly at the windows. (Oh, and leaves a nice gooey mess on the railing.)
Naturally, we're trying to convince Skitter that while she's occupied being a busybody at the kitchen window, she's missing all the action at the front of the house … where this b-i-r-d is waiting for her.
