Flying with the Ravens - A Feathered Friday Post

1-11-19

I do not have a lot of bird pictures yet, mostly only the Eagles, and a few Raven, and a couple of Crow shots. I do however hope to get some killer bird shots this spring of the Canadian Goose, and some Sand Piper shots and I will have to keep my eye out for some more Seagull shots. I do have a few seagull pictures somewhere. So to help kick off #featheredfriday first friday, I have a few pictures of the Ravens at play.

The following pictures were taken on Dec. 29th, we went to get some nice sunset pictures, and there were a lot of Ravens playing with and harassing one young Bald Eagle. I also had on our new camera lens, so I wanted to practice with it. It is taking me a little bit of time to get better with the lens, but each use adds to the learning.

This guy made several passes directly over me, it was like he kept looking down to see what I was doing. Ravens are like Crows they are very curious birds.

Here we have a couple of the Ravens seemingly practicing their aerial combat skills, honing them for the next Eagle they plan on playing with.

Not sure if it was tag, or follow the leader, or practicing their formation flight. I did have a nice picture of three in formation flight I used on another post, so I would lean with practicing their formation flying, either that or the one in back was getting tired and drafting behind the other to save some energy.

Well that concludes my first featheredfriday.
