NatureFootstep: Winged #88

It's Thursday, so the theme at NatureFootstep is 'Winged'. A theme for all things with wings (but not necessarily feathers LOL).

This is my favourite of all the bird photos I've taken over the last few years. It was taken at Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah. This guy was quite a poser, standing still while I snapped several shots of him. 

THE RAVEN
Raven 4

    Just magnificent detail!! Look at the feathers under his beak. Carved out of obsidian. A great shot.

    Incredible detail... I feel like touching his feathers...Of course he would never allow me, LOL!

      Thanks Belita. I was amazed how close he let me get, but I don't think he'd have let me actually touch him.

    Great photo Mitch ~ I've just been reading that here in the Peak District in [the appropriately named] Ravensdale a pair of ravens have just fledged two or three young. Marvellous birds.

      Thanks Charlie. They are fascinating birds, to be sure. I wish there were some closer to where I live!!
