With the tips of a sage bush just poking above the snow a Raven endures the winter winds and cold while searching for the next meal.
From afar a black and white scene yet bursting with color the closer we got.
Happy Friday and a great weekend to all.
This is so beautiful and more handsome than mine… fascinated me Thank you, Love, nia
HI and yes this was a fine looking Raven. Must be finding plenty to eat this winter.
The wind has blown his(?) hair into a wonderful furry hood.
We do like when the head feather are puffed up like that.
Great composition! Lovely picture. Even the black eye is seen. I’m impressed the bird cooperated so much! Mine are always squawking from the trees or roofs, an occasional picnic table.
HI, this guy was very happy to pose and put on a show for us that day. For us it is the Magpies that are very reluctant to pose.
Wow, what a great relationship with the ravens. Do the magpies know? Are they jealous?
A gorgeous capture!
Thanks Ellen. Hope your week is going great.
For a still shot, it shows lots of action as his feathers are buffeted by the winds. Brrr!
It was blustery and it is neat how the wind while elusive can be shown in a photograph.
The lion of the corvids…
Well said.
Great shot!
I have a reverence fo Ravens.
Hi Wayne, I bet you do have a special place reserved in you heart for Ravens given your location and the mythology associated with these brilliant birds.
I do know the Crows are afraid of them.

Brilliant photograph
Thanks.
