jeezum crow

the vermont state bird, of course, is the hermit thrush.

today i went paddling on the lamoille river and i saw a number of handsome birds, including a bunch of kingfishers, sandpipers, a few great blue herons, and a merganser with a dozen or so chicks.

later in the day i saw a crow walking on some rocks just below the surface of the very shallow water, which gave it the appearance of walking on water.

many people joke that the state bird is actually the jeezum crow.
