[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!

How handsome! I'll have to send you pics of our resident ravens. They're not nearly as impressive in the hackle department, but they're very uhh...black. And large. And bitey! Owie!

What a dignified looking raven you got there. :) Stunning photos. Simply stunning.

[white9-fox.livejournal.com]

Wow, they are really different looking than the crows and ravens I've seen. Very cool.

His eyes look red though. Is that a juvie thing, or just his own thing?

Ooh, Shiny!

He looks like he's practicing a Shakespeare monologue or something else with similar gravity.
