This one fortunately, since I was completely taken by surprise, was a lover and just wanted to lean on me and get petted. I would imagine he weighed about 125 lbs. Big boy. Never got a picture of the crows.
I the first time I ever saw some was while on tour in Montana. I rode by a house associated with a sheep farm in Hamilton. It was very early in the morning. Three of them came running towards the fence. Started the hell out of me. So much so that I yelled. They stopped in their tracks. I realized they looked quite friendly. Wanted to turn around and say "Hi", especially since the owner was outside, but I had a very long day, which included a 15 mile climb, ahead of me.
