  1. These are perfect portraits of your Raven Sandra – I especially like how you did the first image, with the oval shape set off with the snowy background – very nice.

    1. Hello Wayne, I was hoping you would see this. With her by herself, I wasn’t sure how to tell the female from the male.

    2. They sure keep an eye on me Wayne, I remember you said you gave yours a cracker now and then. Well, they were here one day, so I put some crackers way over by the woods. I went back to my porch, and had my camera set up in the shadow of the porch and waited. There were 3 of them, perched in the trees not far from the crackers. They appeared to be talking to each other, jumping around from tree to tree. Meanwhile a squirrel kept coming over snagging the crackers. Finally I gave up and went back inside, and within minutes all 3 landed on the ground looking for the left overs. They knew I was sitting over there. 😊

      1. they watch you,once you get to know them they allow you to get closer. I can get about 20 feet away from Robbie. Rita came over and was talking gently to him!

        1. I was surprised to see this one in my photo right outside my window. That is the closest one has been. She was picking at the bird seed on the ground.

  2. The light glistening off the Raven’s feathers makes him look so regal against the backdrop of snow. In the world of Beatrix Potter, I imagine he would wear a top hat and bow tie and rap on your window at tea time so you could share some crumpets with jam.

  3. Beautiful captures, Sandra! I love the closeups, extra nice with the bit of snow on his beak. You got great details on a hard to photograph bird. They are fascinating to watch, interacting with each other and the world around them.
