I like this photo very much. It is a great detailed shot of a bird you seldom see in photos. They may not win a beauty contest but they are smart birds. Excellent work. Saved&Faved.
Phil, I just had to comment on this crow. I don't know why, but they seem like a beautiful bird with lots of character to me. I'm glad you had the opportunity to get a shot of one. They are mostly stand offish birds just staying out of normal lens range. Occasionally you may find some that are real familiar with humans. At work we have a resident group of crows. People throw scraps out at lunch time.
