I was awakened by the chattering of crows alerting other crows of the plethora of popcorn and pretzels. Must have been 10 of them.
I attached a short video so it would fit here

I suspect that was not what most of us were expecting from the subject - but completely correct…

For dinner tonight, we have maize lollipops
and caramel-glazed kernel clusters
and golden knotlets
The pretzels got mooshy with all the rain but the trash pandas won’t mind.

Excuse me?

Lol @TomG totally click-baited everyone.
Knowing who it is from, I kind of assumed that one his Critter friends got video’d hunting successfully…which…I guess is kind of still the case in an odd way since the crows hunted for and found food. And their group is referred to as a murder…

Fascinating tidbit! Historically, the term was “morther of crowys” circa 1475, which then evolved to “murther of crows.” Linguistically, over time, the “th” sound morphed into a “d” sound, a trend not confined to this term alone but rather prevalent, particularly among words of French origin. During the advent of the printing press, a concerted effort emerged to standardize spelling, culminating in 18th-century dictionaries officially replacing the “th” with a “d”. Contrary to macabre conjectures, this nomenclature isn’t because crows are homicidal, but because of their grim association with death and battlefields as scavengers. Their cawing, eerily reminiscent of “bloody murder,” further fueled their negative portrayal in superstitions.
However, it’s noteworthy that while the term “Murder of crows” is culturally entrenched, scientific discourse among ornithologists and birdwatchers simply categorizes them as a “flock of crows.”
And, for my own amusement, I persist in referring to them as a “morther” or “murther” of crows, emphasizing the “th” sound with a particular delight. 
I do actually have some people call me “Sheldon” as a nickname for fun…probably not to the surprise of most regulars in this forum.

Reading that made me think of “ð” (eth), which I always think looks kind of like a “d” but has a “th” sound in Old English. 
I totally fell prey to @TomG’s bait, expecting to see some kind of When Animals Attack! entry upon clicking into this one.

That spot is probably a good calling card location. My son used to live in a corner house that had one spot where all rhe neighborhood dogs would pee.

That was sent by our next door neighbor and taken with an iPhone.
She and I dislike squirrels.
Flew right into the door bang
They do that. They see their reflection and think it is another bird. I have had finches fly into my patio door so fast that they knock themselves out.
Here is one from the other day
The neighbour had a grouse fly through the window in their living room. Very expensive game dinner
