Brazen fellow, flew down and landed on baby stroller (baby was off with mom feeding giraffes). He quickly chose the snack he wanted and flew off to the nearby post to savor his pilfered lunch. Lowry Park Zoo.

Nice capture, Charlie. It's tough to shoot these black birds. Nice clarity on it as well :)

I know a lot of people who dislike crows, but I happen to think they're beautiful.
Wonderful picture. I love the detail. Difficult to get on an all-black bird :)

Great capture Charlie. The shiney coat and dark black of him is amazing. On top of that he's foot tapping ;) Excellent job my friend.

After a bit of an absence, partly vacation but mostly tax season...busy for bookkeeping businesses... I'm glad to be back out here with at least 'some' regularity. I've missed everyone and am glad to have a little more time again.

Excellent composition and focus. These guys can be very brazen.

Bird's gotta make his move when he can. He's got to eat too. I doubt think he'd try that if the mom was there. At least, let's hope not. You were fast on taking the shot.

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes

He may have pilfered and got his prize, but so did you with this unique close up. Great job.
