The Raven

"There is more to Raven than meets the eye. And how many of you have met the eye of a raven? He is known by many tribes under many names. Ravens have always been associated with Godliness. Few people know that the first bird out of Noah's ark was a raven. It just didn't return. It didn't feel the need. Odin relies on his two ravens to fly round the world every day and keep him informed. Edgar Allan Poe's raven shrieked 'Nevermore' but what that has to do with anything only Poe knows." source:

Not sure on any of that but I know we don't have a lot of pictures of them in the forum. Here's my few.

Good shots John, nicely done.

These are really nice. Love the crop.

That looks like a crow, not a raven; though I can be mistaken.

Beautiful shots and I agree that is a crow.

Here is shot of a couple of Ravens.

The bill is much more massive and the throat feathers are very shaggy.

Well Crap!

I was so sure, it was gi-normous!! LOL.

Thanks for the correction guys,
