Raven

The ID of raven is so much more exotic than "crow." Not sure of my ID but the length of the tail and the larger size seems to lean toward raven. He, at least, was eating a cherry not another bird's egg. Taken with Canon 7D, using 100-400 IS lens. F5.6, 1/250 sec., ISO 400 at 400mm handheld.

Comments welcomed.

Very serious cool Raven. Composition and posture very nice. TFS.

The Raven is the smartest bird in the kingdom. To get close is an achievement. :toast:

Love the fruit in the beak, the details in the blacks and your composition Patricia. I'd guess crow as raven has a wedge shaped tail but I'm not sure. :toast:

Totally cool shot Patricia. I love the contrast between the black bird and the red cherry.
