As The Crow Flies

This week's Capture52 Challenge theme is "Silhouettes."

This is the time of year where the crows come in to roost in some foredunes at a nearby beach. They fly in each night around 6:00 by the many hundreds, pretty much all at once and it is a craaaazy sight to behold! They crowd the streets, trees, power lines etc. and it's a feast for the eyes and ears. I know some folks are perturbed (and some disturbed) by them, but I am completely enamored with these intelligent corvids. We may not have all the changing leaves, but this is our autumn and I love it! ...Be prepared for more. ;-)

Happy weekend, everyone. Stay safe and enjoy!

Peace

stunning image, I like the silhouettes that stand out against the sky

[Chris Johnson]

Awesome timing to get such a cool wingspan, like you can count each main feather on the wings! Neat!

[Shutterbug]

I like corvids. They are wonderfully smart and even have something like emotions. You caught beautiful silhouettes.

I miss seeing all the crows. I used to put feed out for them when we lived in Los Oso and then watch them. Fav.

[amyK]

Crows are definitely the iconic silhouette subject. Nice!

Wonderful capture Jenn. What a perfect silhouette of the crow in flight. I just love the nightly fly-in of these intelligent corrida.

They didn't come through this year- thank goodness because I don't like the noise- but we have had massive amounts of Grackles fly through our woods on occasion. The trees are covered with black dots and it scares all the other birds away. It might be so bad in the type of environment you're talking about though. Good shot!
