A Crow

Airedale1 · 08-10-2019, 03:55 PM

I love photographing Crows. They are always a challenge; smart, skittish and difficult to get a proper exposure on. I got this one today, right here in Laconia.

Taken with Sony RX10 M4 1/250 sec f/4 ISO 160

Common Raven or American Crow?

Crows are seen everywhere. Ravens prefer rocky heights.

Scruffy neck feathers usually mean Raven, but the below images don't clear up the difference.

I'd go with the call. The Raven "croaks": The Crow "caws".
