Lucy was inside, and she saw it, too, so I slid the door open and let her out. She trotted to the corner and stood with front paws on the deck box, watching the big bird. The crow was not intimidated, though, and the two stood eye to eye for a few minutes.
"Let's feed it!" Heidi suggested, and I reminded her where the birdseed was. "It looks thirsty," she added, and I fetched some water and a couple of shallow containers from the house. She filled them and placed them on the railing.
We brought Lucy inside, and the three of us watched as the crow ate and drank. Despite my worry that it might make a mess of the recently cleaned deck, it was a perfect guest, enjoying the refreshments neatly, with one eye on us as we observed. A little while later, it bowed politely and flew away.
