An American Crow in Washington

Wherever we go, I am always on the lookout
for beautiful birds.


Or at least a bird who will sit still
and let me take his picture...


As you can see...I'm not too fussy!!


It was a gloomy day but I still enjoyed capturing these shots,
even if it was only an American Crow!!

Please stop by to see all the amazing birds from around the world!!

They can be very entertaining to watch. If they weren't so common we would think them quite handsome with their shinny black bodies.

Deb to me all birds are gorgeous. In the tree behind my garden there is an
magpie nest. I saw it been bild day by day.

Crows are cool! They take care of all that messy stuff that no one else wants to deal with. AND I think they are beautiful! Great photos!

Love the last shot! That's a great moment.

Striking! So what if they are common?

Crows are such intelligent birds and they are fun to watch.

Adrienne said...

The black on gray is stunning. Love the one with his wings spread (though I would have been scared if I had been actually there behind the camera!)

Cheryl @ TFD said...

I'd say I love all birds and they're all beautiful, but I confess the pesky Grackle has been getting on my last nerve this spring. The darn things gobble up all my bird seed so fast! Grrrr... Great shots, Deb!

Brian King said...

Great shots of the crow, Debbie! I've found them to be rather wary and usually have to use a long lens. Nice job!

Nancy said...

I like crows -- they are so smart! Great photos, Debbie!

Modesto Viegas said...
