Your photo (love that one can see the wing tips so clearly) set me off on path of minor research of the scientific difference between crows and ravens. I have my own opinion on the emotional difference, raven always seems more romantic to me, crow scary probably due to the film 'The Birds'. Anyway, I didn't think that ravens lived in my city, only crows, but low and behold they apparently do - but mostly they live on the other side of the Cascade mountain range from me. I also learned that the general genus is called Crow and that it has over a hundred birds in it.

Ah, long story to say, thanks for sharing this photo. It's a delightful soaring bird (hey! that's one of the ways to tell a raven from a crow, crows constantly flap their wings, ravens soar - I've learned so much thanks to you).

Would you put this photo in my group 'my favorite animals'? I would much enjoy that.

There is a legend that if the ravens leave the Tower of London then the crown and Britain will fall. There are always six ravens with their wings clipped kept at the tower to make sure that doesn't happen.

It looks like an eagle taken from that angle. I have a couple of ravens/crows in my garden - they've been here for many years
