Busy shopper at the Crow's Nest Supply Banana Trunk Outlet, NE Portland!

Steppin' out to shop till I drop!

Ah, there's what I was lookin' for!

DSC_0245

Gotta get myownself completely behind it! Pull, pull, pull for all I'm worth!

DSC_0246

Just about got it now! Shiftin' the feet, turnin' the beak!

DSC_0247

Step back! Keep on pullin'!

Whoopsie daisy! Readjust. Tighten up.

Good thing I'm a flexible crow! I don't want to let go!

Drat! Seems I don't know my own strength while trying to get some length.

How do I hold onto this and pick up that?

DSC_0252

One step at a time, it's old hat!

DSC_0253

Gettin' closer now!

DSC_0256

X marks the spot!

Operatin' the calculator in my head, along with the slide rule that is my beak. How much more can I hold onto while I pull away, then carry back to the tree today?

DSC_0259

Measure twice, cut once. My motto as a nest builder.

DSC_0261

Goin' in for the grab!

DSC_0265

Pull! Where's the spouse when needed, I ask you!

DSC_0266

I'm close to spent, y'all! Whew.

DSC_0267

One last look. Could I get a bit more on my own?

DSC_0268

Nope, I've finished and flown. Got away without that crazy photographer shootin' me in flight, ha, ha!

A fun series, Lynette! I've always liked crows... very clever birds.
