Winter Raven
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.
A ravens flight
On an overcast afternoon a raven flies while we sit and watch earth bound and content. The Ravens calls rang loud and echoed far and wide across the landscape below. A moment in time that flew quickly by as smooth and swift as the ravens flight.
A Well Kept Raven
Looking not the least bit scruffy at all with clean beak and perfect feathers. This was one well kept Raven who was more than willing to pose for a a few photos as they enjoyed a sunny perch on a crisp autumn afternoon.
Raven Portrait
A boisterous and sociable Raven took some time to sit for a portrait.
Beyond Black
With the afternoon sun exposing the brilliant purples and blues a Raven preens its feathers, and what beautiful feathers they are.
Fossil records suggest iridescent feathers have been around for awhile and I hope it stays that way.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Horace
Don’t know why but we named this guy Horace. Love his dirty beak. Canylonlands NP, Utah.
Called by a Raven
We could hear this raven cawing, cackling and making a variety of gurgling sounds as we skied towards Black Sand Basin. When we finally met up with her she was perched in an old tree decorated with lichen and moss just as a slight snow flurry began to interrupt an otherwise monotone grey and overcast day. It’s always fun to follow the call of a Raven. Yellowstone, NP.
