Bosque Festival of the Crow

I met TrenchMonkey & Mr. Zoom at Bosque for the 1st annual Festival of the Crow. Lots of Snow Geese & Sandhill Cranes kept getting in the way of the wanted Crow shots but I managed to get a few shots I am going to keep. We decided that Ravens would also be OK.

It was a interesting trip I got there on Sunday and left Wednesday around noon.

As soon as we can come up with a date for next years festival of the Crow you need to mark your calendar so you don't miss this event.

The participants of the 1st Festival Of The Crow

Congratulations on your inaugoration of the First Annual Crow Festival Roger.
Looks like you had all the essential ingrediants, the Zoom, the Monkey and the Wacky, add a bit of crow or not but I am sure you guys enjoyed the festival
Martin
ps. Are you going to make it a virtual festival so that anyone can add a crow shot?

Like that perched shot most Roger.

Looks like the fellows in the first two shots are going to have 'eat crow' after seeing your corvus shots! Good job Roger.

Now that is something to crow about. Bruce

Hi Martin, YES on folks posting their crow shots. The 1 rule is: by posting a crow shot you are committing that you will think about coming to the Bosque next year for the 2nd annual Crow Festival.

We had a lot of fun and the laughter was continuous.

Thank you Roger.
I can certainly commit to think to going to the Bosque 2nd Annual Crow Festival And I definitely confirm that I will be going to the virtual Bosque 2nd Annual Crow Festival.
Glad you guys had a great time.
Now I had better go look for a crow!!
Martin

I'm starting to get a real good feel for why they call you Wacky.
Yes, I am a bit slow.

Beautiful light and some excellent head angles and eye contact in 1 and 2... both difficult subjects I've heard.

I sure hope there's a Photo contest for the Festival of the Crow because you got it covered... nice job Roger.

Here is a couple to start the ball rolling.
1 A crow family at crow chow time

You're a great sport Roger!!
Martin

Crowtastic Roger!! Good on you for not letting the sandies and geese block your views of these rare beauties!!!

Tim

I just love that shot of the monkey
Who gives a crap about sandies!
That crow on the pole is a teriffic shot! look at that buttery bg!

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!

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

Do dancing grackles count

My legs! I can't feel my legs!! 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.
