A couple of ravens above Cochiti glistening in the morning sun. (Bout as close as a 300mm will get.) The blue stuff is New Mexico sky. Hard to get rid of it.

Are you sure these are crows?? Ravens have round tails, and crows are squared off. You can only see the differance when they are in flight. Will any big black bird count? Where ever you guys went, the grass is gonna be greener, come Spring.

The festival of the Crows sure attracts some raw talent as I see it

I just bet you guys were like 'crow magnets' and had no problem just waiting for them to come to you!

Nice work on this bird Wacky, I like the last shot, looks like a modern supersonice flying machine!

Karl

Hi Karl, thanks for the look and for understanding it takes special folks to do crows at the Bosque.

Traveling all that way for crows Roger? Na you went there to see photograph the photographers!

It looks like you all had a ball. I’m looking forward to seeing what else was captured by this fine set of friends. The last is my pick and quite impressive Roger.

Morris

The crow challenge is worth how ever many miles it takes to get it done.

In your haste to post, Roger...you forgot an important ground rule.
All submissions must be shot between the hours of 11am and 1pm, during that peak crow shootin' light!
I really like the Polish Crow best of all

Having you and Zoom as friends, priceless.

Sorry about that but only Crows & or Ravens.

Looks like a good idea to me. The birds look just like sandhill cranes, but with shorter extremities. And just like snow geese, including the same color wing tips.
