[Photos] Good morning, brother raven.

[moonvoice]

I had a juvenile Australian raven come visit a roof-top today and then caw its handsome little heart out. I had to switch lenses, and the Australian ravens here know when they're abuot to be photographed and generally wait until I've got the camera lined up before flying away. It makes me laugh.

So I said out loud, 'please wait for me this time, brother raven, please wait,' and I ran and switched lenses and came back outside and got these. :)







With morning light and a storm behind me.





'How much longer do you want me to stay?'



Preparing to let the world know he exists.



A wake up call for the suburbs. Look how impressive those throat hackles are!

Ooooh, the iridescence on his neck hackles is just amazing on those last two pictures!

Australian ravens, from memory, have the largest throat hackles of all the ravens. So even the juveniles get to show them off! :D
