![[Crow perched on Pier 62/63 sign]](http://www.struat.com/here/piercrow.jpg)
I’ve seen this bird before.
Alright then. It seems that I’m beginning to recognize individual birds… I’ve either been spending too much time with the birds at the store, or I’ve been hanging out at the waterfront too much.

DON’T throw peanuts at him. Unless you want a new friend-for-life!
Although it would be funny if, every time you walk past him, say “Hey, Hal.” See if he responds to Hal eventually.

Hal! I thought I’d lost ye!

Jeff has noticed that he is encountering the same crow repeatedly. I warned him that the crow might also recognize him, and went off to Google a couple of things. First off, I found contact information for James Ha, a University of Washington psych pro…
