Portrait Of The Crow For Qurator's Photo Quest

When there is a contest related to birds, I am in. You know how much I love to watch and photograph birds, but to find among the zillion photos any that I haven't used yet, seems to be a hard task. I prefer to show new images, but recently I had not much time for birding and I lack of new photos. So, when I saw the contest, run by @qurator - Qurator's Photo Quest | Birds I knew I will struggle to find proper photo to enter. But then I found some of crows and decided to present them.

Hooded Crow, named after its look with black head and black feathers on the chest exactly like a hood can be. To make a close-up is not difficult. Big enough and roaming in the grass in a close proximity makes the task easy.

Another crow from another day was perching above my eye level on a fence. Not for long, but I managed a shot.

And finally a crow in flight.

Intelligent birds, who I began to understand better thanks to the crow lady @corvidae. I tag her if she would like to take part in this photo contest. Her photos of her feathered friends are marvelous.

And that's it, my entry to this challenge, showing a bird with no colours, just black and grey, but bird with attitude and character.
