Closer
I couldn't pick which of the Raven shots was best, so you get a whole set ;) Here I zoomed in closer, in part to get a better focus, but to do so I had to "cut off" most of his tail. Oh well. In exchange, I got a glimpse of his foot as he high-stepped through the field.- Doc Duck

Lean on me
When the raven left the fence, he/she joined his/her mate just outside the fence on the unsafe-for-tourists tip of Chimney Rock. I got several shots of them. This one I've puzzled over a bit: Which body goes with which head? I think I've got it worked out now, that the raven standing furthest...- Doc Duck

On the fence
Woops! Sorry! The day has flown by. I did finish an article draft, and I'm two seams away from finishing the front of a quilt now. I need to get that done so I can clear the dining room table. We're having company for dinner tomorrow. I also need to get the mussels steamed. So I'll just hurry up...- Doc Duck

The raccoon (which you can see scurrying past in the background here) didn't manage to steal all the bread crumbs someone had put out for the birds at the south end of North Lake. Various corvids also grabbed their share. I didn't capture any of the crows or jays, which were skittishly staying...- Doc Duck

Common Raven
Ohy!! My feet are so cold! Obviously they don't suffer the cold on their feet the same as we might. As I feed them they seem to pay no heed to the snow, casually walking, and foraging for the food I cast out to them.- digishooter

Common Raven
They have become my friends now. Each morning, at about the same time, I'll exit the house and there they will be, perched in the gray pines, scores of them. As I walk to the customary feeding site, I'll whistle and they come gliding along and land at a chosen feeding perch, typically on the...- digishooter

Common Raven
They are greedy. They use their "sub-lingual" pouch (area of the mandible, just under the tongue) to stash some food. This they take away and hide. Usually they will eat as many bits of dog food as they can, then fill the pouch.- digishooter

Common Raven
It is getting fun working with these corvids. They watch my yard, and my behavior around the yard, with real interest and intent. When I walk out of the house they take to the wing and gracefully soar above me, their heads turned down looking at me. I begin "cawing" like a raven ( I...- digishooter

Common Raven
I've been trying to get this shy species to become accustomed to me, so I can take images of it. So, in that effort I've taken to feeding them dry dog food, they love the stuff. Each time I go out with the container of food I mimic the vocalizations of the birds, in the hopes they will make the...- digishooter

While I have had photos of Ravens before this was about as close as I have been to one. This Raven taken at top of Whistler Mountain in British Columbia was hanging out with a flock of Gray Jays and while not landing on peoples hands the way the jays would it was approaching very closely.- gophish

Common Raven
Metering solid black birds is a challenge. Used spot meter on this to render the shadows in the bird, opened up by one and one third stops to get the bird right. In post processing I correct values for the BG.- digishooter

Common Raven
A bird I'm training to become accustomed to me. Ravens are wary, cautious birds, and are reticent to allow close approaches. I've finally gotten this one to perch on my fence, and allow me to get within 20 feet. It loves dog food, which I used to draw it in.- digishooter

Brains Versus Braun
My guess is that the Old guy started the trouble in the first place. He got a little bored, and of course he picked on the young kid who is still learning what a Raven is made of.- CurtMorgan

Northern Symbol
Their proper name may be Common Raven but to me there isn't anything common about them. I believe that they, along with the loon and the wolf, are true symbols of northern Canada.- snowyowl

This bird was hiding something in the rocks. I suspect it is a juvenile as the feathers and colours are somewhat strange. I really don't know, but the bird did look like this, as I recall.- Rick Whitman

A kindness of ravens
Can't see calling birds having such a good time an `unkindness'! Note that one of them is still carrying an item (nut?) in its bill.- kitefarrago
