Finally!!

This is a plain old ordinary american crow - corvus brachyrhynchos, but I haven't been able to get a decent shot of one all spring.

This morning I looked out the window in my front door and there he was - less than 10 feet away (~3 meters).

Took these through the glass. He flew away before I even tried to open the door.

Wow they are just a little bit different to the crow over here. I havent been able to get a good shot of one of ours... but I will keep trying! lol

Wow, they are hard to get a good pic. Difficult to get good definition because of their color, good job Tupe!!

great job on getting detail on such a dark colored bird.the glass on your front door must make a great filter.lol

That reminds me of how long it has been since i saw a crow in real life. :)
Nice capture tupe.

Thanks Sandi, Paul, Jeff, CFC. I guess it helps to be close to something that big.

Great Captures!

I see a lot of them, but never get close enough to get a good shot!

Great shots! We have alot of them in our area too, but very hard to catch.
