Swoop Down to Catch Another Mouse

@tyto-furcata

Hi! I'm Mel (26, she/her) and I enjoy hiking, birding, nature photography, and zoo photography. I take photos for fun as a hobby. I'll be posting my zoo and wildlife photography here. Most of my zoo photography is from the San Diego Zoo/Safari Park. I use a Canon Rebel T5I body with a Sigma Contemporary 150-600mm lens, and I do all my editing in Lightroom.

Common Raven Corvus corax

1/21/2024 Orange County, California

THESE ARE CROWS.

you people are fucking blind.

NOTE THE LACK OF BEARD YOU FUCKING INGRATES..

The birds in OP's post are common ravens. They are facing mostly away from the camera in all three photos, which makes the beard harder to see, but they are ravens. The beard isn't the best field mark for this reason because its visibility can be somewhat perspective based and thus can be subjective. A better field mark in photos where the bird's front isn't clearly visible, and especially for profile photos, would be the beak size- the beaks in OP's photos are *way* too large for American crow. These birds were also seen at Irvine Regional Park where common raven is the expected, much more common corvid species above American crow.

Pictured below: common ravens with slicked down beards like those in OP's photos.

Note the huge, almost disproportionate beak size and blocky head shape of ravens in comparison to American crow:

#if youre gonna be rude at least make sure youre right first lmao #common raven #fun fact the birds in my header image (also ravens) were seen at the same park
