Some of my American cousins may be unfamiliar with this European Crow so I've left an information link here. In captivity they've proven to be quite an intelligent bird, & are great mimics amongst other things.

Cocky little devil Phlossie. I like the pose it struck. The black/grey mix is tremendous.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

Nice and sharp image of this cunning bird Phil. The crows here are rather big and fully black.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

I was looking at his feet and know I know why those tiny lines around the eyes are called crow's feet. Seriously, he is a nice looking bird with lots of shades to him and not all black like the other crows.

Ah, so good of you to post one of MsCROW's distant cousins! I do love the eye color! Our American Crows have eyes like coal.
Nice detail in this. Yes, Corvids are an extremely amazing family of birds!

Thanks for the link, he's really a unique member of the crow family, Super shot Phil. It almost looks like he needs Grecian Formula hair colour for his grey, lol.
