Common Raven

You probably think I'm strange but I love ravens! especially their voices! One of the most intelligent, hardy birds on the planet.

No Lori this is one resilient bird..very intelligent as you say

dont think your strange at all Lori, they are beautiful. great photo

Thanks, I was out looking for our more raggamuffin variety, but these sleek ones will do. The real scraggly looking ones give me a laugh. Really huge, I'd never seen any this big until moving here.

I have a soft spot for the underdog... raggamuffin....like an avian Charley Chaplin? the little tramp? LOL...always reminds me of the scene where Charley is making his dinner....boiled boot! I always put out extra for the ravens when we lived up north...

Lovely Pic GT :)

aw Lori, i love charley chaplin lol i can remember that part well, the boiled boot lol.

Thank you so much. :-) I've been watching for a good opportunity. They don't stop in at my place often, no trash to rip up....lol. They feed very well, on anything and everything that is left out. Seems every pack has a rough looking punk pushing everybody around. He took right off ewhen I opened my window....lol. Now I'll be imagining little charlie chaplins everywhere, boots in tow. ;-)

ravens are here too. i love to watch them flying.
