[Skatol]

Dark Eyed Junco, 5DIII, 300mm + 1.4TC, 1/400, F/5.6, ISO 1250

Very nice shot Skatol. I like the composition with the flying bird in the background.

Thanks again Click. As I said before, luck and 6 FPS.

Canada geese, common stock, I guess, but sometimes funny:


and sometimes graceful:

Canon 6d 70/300L combo.

Took these on trip to Stewrat Island in NZ. These were just gorgeous to watch as they gave a display of flying skills you could never forget. I almost cried out with tight chested emotion.

Crow or raven? Someone said crow. I say raven. Now I'm no bird expert but I'm familiar with both species. Both live in my area. For some reason this bird seems to be a conundrum to me. I'm sure to no one else.

Same bird with a better profile.

This one is a Crow mate, the Raven is double the size of a Crow (40oz compared to 20oz in weight) plus it's altogether more "shinny", it also has a more pronounced nostril area on its beak with a sharper angle at the tip.

How about someone post a raven shot so we can see. I see very few ravens and sometimes wonder but whenever I've seen a raven I've said "they're huge", no mistaking. In the mean time I can start wondering again, crow or raven?

Better still, post both!
