For me, there's no other bird that fascinates me like the Raven. Full of personality and intelligence, the raven soars above mountains and through forest. Its croaking call can be heard echoing across the valleys and meadows. Always a treat to see these magnificent creatures.

These guys like to hang around anywhere there are people to see if maybe someone will slip them some food - or maybe to find an unattended pack to break into.

I found this one working through the bracken. In the end, it scored a large grub and took off.

Some birds are well on the way to hatching I suspect. This pair were still working on the site.
Tough 24 hours of very high winds here, I wonder how its affected some of the early nesting birds

Serial number 1668TB38 began its career on June 15, 1967 as N501Z with The Superior Oil Company of Houston, Texas.
Death Valley, CA - This is near Zabriskie Point in Death Valley. Apparently, ravens are common here despite the extreme heat and arid conditions.
The raven population has grown over the years, likely due to people feeding them. This has created a problem for the local desert turtles, as they are not adapted to deal with such a large predator population. The ecosystem here is fairly fragile, and once again, people can be jerks.
This raven kept closing its nictitating membrane, also known as a third eyelid, which moisturizes and protects the eye from dust while still allowing vision. It was both fascinating and creepy, at times giving the raven the appearance of some ghostly spectre.
** Flickr Friends -- I am off on a trip for three weeks: 6 day drive across the northern U.S., then in Toronto for 10 days, then back home via the train. I hope to get on most evenings but can't say for sure that I will. **

(At least I think they are ravens.... maybe they are crows?)
I got out to visit my daughter in her new home in Utah. I'll definitely be going back... and I'm happy that I went in winter. I love winter...especially in places that will be 100 degrees plus and super crowded in spring, summer and fall!
Went to Lake Louise to see if I could find one. So much for not having scratches on my truck. They wasted no time going over to see what sandwich I was eating. Lake Louise Alberta Canada
Kings 1 17 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe[a] in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”
2 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. 4 You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you with food there.”
5 So he did what the Lord had told him. He went to the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan, and stayed there. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook.
There was a family of ravens sitting on the gravel near the Beaufort Sea. This juvenile raven flew next to the photographer and looked around for a few moments before taking flight again. This raven is about 2/3 the size of the adult ravens.
I wanted to find birds between the rivers Rhein- Elbe - Neisse Oder - Warthe -Weichsel and started with this raven . Vogelpark Solingen
I believe this is a raven. He was sitting on a bare branch of an apple tree near the water, and when I first glanced at him I thought he was a hawk or an osprey. He has a broad beak, a wedge-shaped tail, and his primary feathers appear to me to be more elongated than the common crow. Ravens are not uncommon in Maine, and are present in every county.
As I have said many times, I am a bird enthusiast, not an ornithologist - I am interested in other's opinions, especially from our birders....

"KILLERS, RAVEN, AND MORE"
To kill someone and never need a weapon fired.
Sometimes, it is enough just in a lesser form.
For example: A word, a gesture, a look, (depending on the sensitivity
of the, "victim"), something said, something done, directly or indirectly
can be enough to harm and/or kill someone.
The noble Eagle is a powerful killer, but she would only kill to feed herself or her children. The Jackals and Coyotes kill for play even with their victims already wounded and dying, they then would feed upon them as prey. The worst are the Worms and the Maggots that
eat Animal Carcasses.
I have met in my lifetime so far, small and big killers.
Some were big and powerful killers and some were small killers that
hid around my friends, relatives, partners, and those I love.
Fortunately, I always identified and recognized them through their
repugnant and repulsive smell.
So, my Gioia Mia, take care to recognize that smell and protect yourself too.
