The common raven (Corvus corax) is a member of a family of birds known as the Corvidae, which includes jays, crows, and magpies. The raven is found throughout most of the Northern Hemisphere in many types of habitats. The raven is a permanent resident in Alaska, nesting from the Seward Peninsula and the Brooks Range throughout the mainland, south to Kodiak Island, throughout the Aleutian Chain and along the coast and mountains of Southeast Alaska.
General description: The raven is the largest species of songbird and largest all-black bird in the world. In Alaska, the raven can only be confused with a hawk or crow. Ravens have large, stout bills, shaggy throat feathers, and wedge-shaped tails, visible best when in flight.
Ravens are excellent fliers, engaging in aerial acrobatics and sometimes soaring to great heights. Flight is often an alternation of wing flapping and gliding and is deceptively fast, as ravens move quickly with seemingly slow wing beats. There is no mistaking the raucous call of the raven; the deep, resonant “kaw” is its trademark. However, the raven can produce an amazing assortment of sounds. One study in Alaska showed ravens have more than 30 distinct vocalizations.
The Common Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus), is a bird in the pheasant family (Phasianidae). It is native to the country of Georgia (Ancient Colchis) and has been widely introduced elsewhere as a game bird. In parts of its range, namely in places where none of its relatives occur such as in Europe (where it is naturalized), it is simply known as the "pheasant". Ring-necked Pheasant is both the name used for the species as a whole in North America and also the collective name for a number of subspecies and their intergrades which have white neck rings.
The adult male Common Pheasant of the nominate subspecies Phasianus colchicus colchicus is 60–89 cm (24–35 in) in length with a long brown streaked black tail, accounting for almost 50 cm (20 in) of the total length. The body plumage is barred bright gold and brown plumage with green, purple and white markings. The head is bottle green with a small crest and distinctive red wattle.
Common Pheasants feed solely on the ground but roost in sheltered trees at night. They eat a wide variety of animal and vegetable type-food, like fruit, seeds and leaves as well as a wide range of invertebrates, with small vertebrates like snakes, lizards, small mammals and birds occasionally taken.
Spotted at Blacktoft Sands, near Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire. This picture is cordially dedicated to my dear friend Sarfraz Hayat.
Managed to see two Common Seals at Sovereign Harbour today. Not at all worried about passing boats in the harbour entrance.

This Common (or Purple) Salsify was seen while walking around Swan Lake, in Victoria, B.C. Imported from Europe it was grown for both its flower, and its edible roots and shoots. The variety we knew in Saskatchewan was yellow, and we referred to it as Goat's Beard.
A couple of views of the cottages in Common Lane, Beer in Devon. One taken in the early morning before dawn and the other just after the sun has come up.
There seems to be about one of these every mile or two of fenceline in the Pawnee National Grasslands. This one was quite tame, and let me drive up to within a couple of yards. They are insect-eaters, and as such do not need a large beak.
Common Moorhen (Gallinula chloropus) seen in Huntington Beach State Park in Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.
Ex-Danish MZ3 1434 leads a Qube container train past Enfield yard. The MZs are a common sight on the Sydney freight lines, being the main motive power on Qube container shuttles. They replaced the previously common double 44 class.

Another common bird most photographers tend to overlook or ignore completely, I know I usually do. On closer observation I find they actually have very colorful markings and are not so "common" looking after all. My grandmother used to tell me there is beauty in almost everything, if you just take the time to look for it. I took this photo a few minutes after sunrise this morning from my deck.
