Past Photo Favorites - American Crows exploring and being curious in the Santa Fe River during a rare water flow on October 27, 2022. The crow’s curiosity is a natural result part of their intelligence. In the top photo it looks like the crow is using a twig as a tool. In the bottom left photo the crow is using its beak to check out something; much like we would use our fingers. In the last photo the crows are exploring; keep in mind that the water is a relatively rare phenomenon for them as the water only flows when the reservoirs up on the side of the mountains become full or water is released for some reason. So this is something interesting to them because it is rare. #AmericanCrow #Crows #Corvid #Crows #CrowUsingTool #CuriousCrows #SmartCrows #CrowIntelligence #CrowsInARiver #CrowsOfInstagram #CorvidsOfInstagram #Birds #Bird #BirdPhotography #Birding #BirdingPhotography #Naturalist #PhotoByJeriRae (at Frenchy's Field Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqEZERRvStn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
