10:37am EST: Spotted three crows walking about the green by Lake Champlain Chocolates, south side of Birchcliff Parkway (Burlington, Vermont, USA). Two things to note:

• There were also a couple of squirrels around, and all the animals appeared to be doing the same thing, searching about for something edible. I was struck by the degree to which the animals were able to "work" in proximity to each other, though there was an incident in which one of the squirrels charged one of the crows, which flew off a short distance.
• The crow in this picture had something small and bread-like in its beak. It walked a couple of feet over from the lawn to a puddle, then (apparently purposefully) dropped the piece of food into the puddle, picked it up, then dropped it again. Might it have been using the puddle to soften the food to make it easier to swallow and digest?

If you look closely, you can see the piece of food in the puddle; it's more-or-less in a straight line from the tip of the crow's beak. (Picture taken through window of my car.)
