I had the advantage!
Crows - and birds in general - seem to have an aversion to having their picture taken. In my experience, as soon as my hand pulls my cell phone out, before I can even turn it on, or lift it to click a photo - the avian photo op takes flight!
I first noticed the quiet of the fog, only torn by the occasional obnoxious goose discussion. But that settled in to the silence. Then I noticed the crow, its ebony presence barely touched by the fog. It was intent on grooming, lifting a wing, fluffing feathers and not noticing me at all. From my second floor window ~ I had the advantage.
“If men had wings and bore black feathers,
few of them would be clever enough to be crows.”
~ Henry Ward Beecher
