common raven

Shouting very loudly in the town

An Image taken of a Raven Sculpture on a gate post. Half way up the hill of 'Castell Dinas Bran' - a medieval castle located near to Llangollen, Wales.

were all over the place at Sea Ranch. I heard them constantly and often saw them flying by. I got two posing nearby on fences at Bodega Head, but this was the only one I got a close-up of up at Sea Ranch.

The raven is all black, has a 4 ft wingspan and is over two feet from head to tail. The sexes are generally alike, although females may be smaller. This one is still a frequent visitor to our peanut log.

The peanuts go fast when this guy stops on our deck for a meal. I got this shot through the window and thought the wingspan of 45-46 inches looked like a giant monster coming toward me! Needless to say I missed out on the landing shot when I thought he was coming through the window.

For some reason, the ravens here in Nova Scotia are the biggest and heaviest in the world. (According to Wikipedia) I believe it. This guy is absolutely huge. Here he's calmly ambling up to a group of crows in order to take over the snacks I put out for them. He looked like a friggin dinosaur...

There were two of them on the cliff there, possibly mates? or siblings? Note that both had some white specks in their plumage.

The raven was still checking us out, now with his good eye, I guess.

Fair enough. We watch the birds, and the birds watch us.

You forgot your milkshake! This Raven seemed to be still yelling at the previous tourists who'd stopped at his viewpoint overlooking the seals and pelicans on the sand spit at Jenner, where the Russian River runs out to the ocean (when Fall floods open the sandbar).

First two of a family group that landed on Mount Capulin, New Mexico, USA.

There were two Common Ravens together alongside the pond at Crissy Field that day. They didn't seem shy about people walking close by them.

Oh, sorry, did I say "common" out loud? Didn't mean to insult you. Just stating your full name.
