It's been a while since I've captured images of some of my favorite birds—corvids. Naturally, this particular crow was aware of this fact and decided to extensively pose for me.
Here are some of the images.
Does anyone know what time it is?
That's right: it's time to post another beautiful corvid—this one being from Ueno park—made all the more striking in black-and-white silhouette form.
If this specimen were featured in Aesop's fable, it would outsmart the fox!
What can I say? My collection of glorious corvids grows! Soon, I'll have an army (sadly, a virtual one. For now.)
Once upon a time, Huginn and Muninn decided that they were all too worn out from accompanying Odin everywhere and requested a break. To their surprise, the One-Eyed Wiseman was actually quite understanding, granting them an entire week off.
So they left the snow-peaked Scandinavian mountains and headed to sunny Japan for a brief, but deserved vacation. Landing in Ueno Park and causing a bit of ruckus, disrupting the local Zoo's resident herons and geese, the pair interpreted having a relaxing time in an onsen rather loosely.
It's as if they were drunk on...wait for it...mead.
P.S. Crows, not ravens? Corvids! Close enough.
