Every week @nelinoeva hosts a fun contest in the Feathered Friends Community. This week's theme is Family Portrait.

Bo and Lorena have a baby.

Bo on the left, Baby in the middle, Lorena on the right.
I'm not certain, but this may be their only surviving fledgling. Both parents were pretty jumpy and nervous today, which usually indicates they had some kind of traumatic experience, most likely the loss of a child.
It sucks that this happens and it sucks that I know this. I've seen a lot of crow death and loss myself. It's very painful.
BUT
This baby is alive and well.

Lorena just taught them how to take a bath.

And how to shake it off.

Just looking at these pictures I'm almost positive this baby is a boy. The kid's got Bo's big head and intense eyes. Looks a bit stalky, too, like Bo. Not at all dainty like Lorena. Their surviving baby last year that I can hardly talk about because it hurts so bad, she was dainty. So dainty.

Lorena also taught baby to preen after the bath.

Look-look-look-look!!!

Look at Lorena's head.
