Raven and sky~SkyWatch Friday 031111


There are a couple of ravens up at the horse ranch where "the herd" resides and I always enjoy watching them! They are noisy birds and they often alight on the corral pipes and "talk". They never seem to allow me to get close enough to get a decent photo of them, but I did see one of them last weekend with something in its beak. SkyWatch Friday for March 11, 2011. To visit SkyWatch Friday, go to: http://skyley.blogspot.com/ UPDATE: I just wanted to add...for me, it has been VERY difficult to even get a decent shot of a raven! I was driving down a country road last weekend and spotted a raven with something in its mouth just sitting on a fence post. By the time I leaned over to grab my camera, he took off! I frequently see them up at the horse ranch or near it, but never get a decent shot of one! Does anybody have any tips??? Aarrrrgggghhhh.......(pulling out hair!)

    I love ravens. I always have to laugh when I hear them, such a cold, raspy call. We have lots of ravens in Cape Breton and guess where they hang out? At the cemetary. One of these days I'm going to get a good shot of one on an old cross.

    Great photo. The sky is the perfect backdrop for the shiny black feathers.

    I think with photographing all birds, even ravens, it's all about luck...and being stealthy and quick! lol!
