These birds are found only within the central valley of California. As corvids, they're super smart, very communal and are known to hold "funerals" for their dead. ...and I have found them very difficult to shoot so I was glad to get this one just before it took off. Not a particularly exciting image, and it obviously doesn't show its unique color, but maybe I'll post another version later...
Meanwhile, many thanks for all your kind and thoughtful comments, faves and follows. Happy weekend, everyone!
Very nice. Corvids are intelligent birds I remember seeing some Rooks morn a recently deceased member of their rookery. Far more intelligent than people realise.
second of a pause before Oooow Magpie! I saw the one down the street, drove by 2 times and texted you what was that?! So bitchin! This is so sharp it looks as if itâs an in studio shot! No wonder we donât see them here! Love it
Very nice photo. I would be curious to get an idea of its colors.
