Raven - Corvus corax
The common raven (Corvus corax), also known as the northern raven, is a large all-black passerine bird. Found across the Northern Hemisphere, it is the most widely distributed of all corvids. There are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.2 kilograms (2.6 pounds) in mass. Common ravens can live up to 21 years in the wild, a lifespan surpassed among passerines by only a few Australasian species such as the satin bowerbird and probably the lyrebirds. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory.
Common ravens have coexisted with humans for thousands of years and in some areas have been so numerous that people have regarded them as pests. Part of their success as a species is due to their omnivorous diet; they are extremely versatile and opportunistic in finding sources of nutrition, feeding on carrion, insects, cereal grains, berries, fruit, small animals, nesting birds, and food waste.
Some notable feats of problem-solving provide evidence that the common raven is unusually intelligent. Over the centuries, it has been the subject of mythology, folklore, art, and literature. In many cultures, including the indigenous cultures of Scandinavia, ancient Ireland and Wales, Bhutan, the northwest coast of North America, and Siberia and northeast Asia, the common raven has been revered as a spiritual figure or godlike creature.

For my next few posts I've decided to wander aimlessly through my thousands of photos and wait for an image to say "pick me". This morning a raven shot taken on a southern California beach said it.
This eagle was hunting for Richardson's ground squirrels that have shown up in the last few days. Watched him try numerous times with no luck. It didn't help the ravens didn't want him in their territory.
The raven - entertaining to watch and on ocassion interact with. Ravens appear to be thriving. It seems where ever you might travel in North America, "Look there's a raven."
My favorite encounters are along coastlines. They glide with the offshore winds along the endless bluffs and ridges in Northern California. Sometimes hovering overhead and sometimes dive-bombing my dog - seemingly for fun.
The Australian raven (Corvus coronoides) is a passerine bird in the genus Corvus and is native to much of southern and north eastern Australia.
These intelligent birds live in my neighbourhood, but seldom eat from my food table. They do however sit on the high point of my rook and keep an eye on proceedings. I got this shot one day before the great Covid lockdown of 2020.

A castle like rock pillar stands at the southwest end of the Sheep Mountain Canyon near Greybull, Wyoming. The canyon was cut by Bighorn River through the core of Sheep Mountain Anticline. Sheep Mountain Canyon measures about a 1,000 feet deep at its maximum. The Mississippian Madison Limestone makes up most of the cliffs in the photo.
One Little Raven took on two Swamp Harriers and chased them away. When all three birds flew over the freeway I lost sight of them but then I saw the raven returning to rest on the sound barrier.
(Corvus mellori & Circus approximans)
Ravens symbolize a complex mix of wisdom, magic, mystery, and transformation, but can also be associated with death, prophecy, and ill-omen across different cultures. They are seen as messengers from the cosmos, tricksters, and creators, while in literature and mythology, they are often linked to the cycles of death and rebirth, or the darker side of the subconscious.

Like cockroaches, Ravens and Crows are survivors. If a holocaust comes, I would expect ravens and cockroaches to be the last survivors. They can eat anything and they work together and give them a couple thousand years, they will probably have talons. Can you imagine Ravens with talons......they would be the only birds left.

This Common Raven was perched in a tree and giving me looks. There were a bunch of raven's, which in a group are called an "Unkindness of Ravens." Doesn't that speak volumes to the character of this very smart bird?

I reached out my hand, England's rivers turned and flowed the other way...
I reached out my hand, my enemies's blood stopt in their veins...
I reached out my hand; thought and memory flew out of my enemies' heads like a flock of starlings;
My enemies crumpled like empty sacks.
I came to them out of mists and rain;
I came to them in dreams at midnight;
I came to them in a flock of ravens that filled a northern sky at dawn;
When they thought themselves safe I came to them in a cry that broke the silence of a winter wood...
