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

They both tried to order crow and a beer at the restaurant we went to for dinner.

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?


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.

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.

Kirk


YUP!!! on Wacky be me.

I was posting from the blackberry and was too lazy to type them in for you.



A fresh submission for you....

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.

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.



Sorry about that but only Crows & or Ravens.
