Jeronimo...

Found this juvenielle crow today trying to figure out how to put some air under his wings. They nest high in the tall pines every spring, but this is the first time I've ever come across one at ground level.

Apparently he bailed from the nest just a little too soon as he wasn't accumulating many frequent flyer miles.

 

He's not the most exciting critter to ever step in front of the lens, but shooting "black" subjects in bright light has always been a challenge for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

.... and here's a couple random filler pics to get my 10 shots in.

I don't like those leaves in the Chipper Monk pic ...........

Those birds have a crazed look.

Those birds have a crazed look.

They do have an attitude.
