corbae

Rachel Cowan

This may look like just another bird photo... zillions of them on flickr... but for me, this is something special... I have an abiding fascination with the corbae family, but have never managed to get a picture of one. They're such intelligent birds, they can guess what you're going to do before you do it and they take flight... Today, as if he knew that I was on an expedition with my new telephoto lens, he sat on this branch for several minutes while I snapped him from every angle, even calling back to him in hoarse crow language...
