Salad to go

Corvus corone (Carrion crow / Rabenkrähe)

A crow on a lush green lawn in morning light. It seems to have found a little bit left to eat in an almost empty takeout food container.

Leap of Grace

This morning, a blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata) paid a visit. The image captures the bird mid-hop, transitioning gracefully from the roof of a rustic wooden bird feeder to the lower trough. As I gaze at the photo, I find myself marveling at the precise maneuver it must have employed to achieve a safe landing.

If you're enchanted by images of blue jays and other captivating corvids, dive into my photo gallery for a visual treat! Take a peek:

This image captures a blue jay in remarkable detail, frozen mid-hop as it moves from the roof of a rustic wooden bird feeder to its trough. The bird's vibrant blue plumage, accented by black and white markings, is striking against the weathered texture of the feeder. Its position, suspended in the air, highlights its agility and energy, while the blurred background enhances the focus on the bird and feeder, evoking a peaceful yet dynamic moment in nature.

Some fun sketches with black fine liner and brush pen! I love corvids and squids!

Sketchbook page in black ink of some crows/ravens and a giant squid. The top right has the date 4/9/24 and the text "Fine liner + Brush pen." There are three sketches of crows/ravens on the left side. The top is of an eye, the middle is of a head, and the bottom is of one in flight. To the right is a giant squid drawing. The background is filled in partially with black ink.

Crows nests. No, not the nautical ones, although it's evident here how those got their name.

Dizzying amount of swaying up there on a windy day like today.

The corvids seem to prefer birches over pines in this mixed forest park.

Angle look up to the tree tops. There are many nests in the uppermost branches of some tall birch trees. The nests are made of twigs and secured well enough to not blow away in the strong winds gusting through the treetops. There's a pine nearby, and more of them off to that side, but the crows have a clear preference for birches. Some of them are sitting on various branches, flying around or guarding their nests.

Crows are not black, but beautifully deep blue irridescent, it's just that you have to look quite close to see it. They have a very complex social structure, and really know how to make the most of their environment. A bit blurry, this shot is taken from ~50m under low light. This crow was scouting for some breakfast after yet another downpour. #pnw #britishcolumbia #birdphotography #nature #corvid #crow

Aren't crows (and ravens) just beautiful?

Crows are really hard to capture in the middle of the day. But this fall day last October was overcast, and the angle was right so that the details in this crow's plummage really popped. The head was really dark, but I lightened it in post processing so that the face's detail also came out okay.

A crow perched on a tree branch. You see it's back feather and its head is sideways with one eye looking at you.

Sketching some of my favorite birds, ravens and crows! I used my favorite fude nib fountain pen, the Jinhao 159.

Sketchbook page of two drawings of crows/ravens in teal ink. On the left is the date 4-7-24. Both crows/ravens are looking to the left. The left one shows most of its body, and the right just the head and chest.

Just discovered that we have a pair of crows nesting way, way up in the oak tree in front of my house. There have been crows around here for years, but last summer I saw a few alight atop my fig tree, then continue up to the oak, and wondered what was up. Only recently did I notice their super big nest hiding in the dark upper reaches of the tree. They’re very quiet, stealthy even. It was seeing them regularly out on the phone wires that finally tipped me off. #corvid #crows #Birds #birb #borb #niceNeighbors #featheredFrens #corvidae
