These magnificent birds have set up shop in my favourite "roosting tree" up in Sunland Park. Ravens and crows, while similar in appearance are actually quite different. Calmer, quieter and twice the size of their cousins, ravens rarely gather in flocks the way that crows do and once they find that perfect partner they're together for the rest of their lives. They're also non-transitory, meaning they don't migrate from place to place, preferring to stay put year-round Engaging, smart and hell of alot eaiser to snap photos of, they're one of my favourite birds.

This is a raven, folks. Not to be mistaken for their lesser cousin the common crow, they're pretty magnificent to behold. Cooler, calmer and blessed with a deeper caw than their brethren, they're a full size bigger and from my observation, a helluva lot smarter.

Could have been a hot summer day...but it's something else. Colour is as is, out-of-camera.
