Dead Eye Cheer by darylo

Dead Eye Cheer

At the soccer fields today, this very black crow swooped in to rest on top of the chain linked fence post behind the team as they gathered on the benches to celebrate their first win. CAAAAW! was his cheer.

But that EYE. Freaky. This is cropped just a little, but it's pretty much sooc. Was in sport mode all game. When this bird flies, he looks just like a hawk.
Hahha :D Creepy :P
Congrats with the win ;)

@ragnhildmorland I know, right? The bonus was this was my daughter's first game and she scored the winning goal! Woohoo!

Great shot of the crow! I always have trouble with the blackness. I guess birds do close their eyes after all!

@vskolnik Hi Vee! I tried to edit it some to bring out that silky shiny sheen, but it wasn't working, so I just left it as is. So very dark and ominous (but I think he was hoping that some soccer team would have treats after the game or something). He was very purposeful in his approach. lol.
