Australian Raven Corvus coronoides

Australian Ravens are black with white eyes in adults. The feathers on the throat (hackles) are longer than in other species, and a bird tends to extend these when calling, while holding its head and body in a horizontal position. Australian Ravens are usually seen in pairs. Another aid to identification of this species is the absence of wing-flicking while calling. Young birds resemble the adults, but have dark eyes, shorter throat hackles and often the presence of a pink, fleshy gape. This species is sometimes called a crow.

Hi Fatih,
Great capture of this curious raven. I love the bright blue color of the eye and the pose. The details in the head are spot on and I like the use of the shallow DOF.
TFS,

Wow, Fatih! This made me automatically think of Edgar Allan Poe. It looks like the raven is saying, "NEVERMORE!"

:o)

Hi Fatih,

Excellent photo, wonderful aptitude for this intelligent bird. You can see the structure with the angle of capture. Very good job, you go out of the ordinary. Congratulations!
