Dam right beautiful day out today, about -13, perfect.Nice bit of snow overnight, wind still not come up, no complaints this end at all.
The three guys at right are sure enjoying the day, they are part of a larger group of Ravens that have been hanging around this area.
Usually it is the territory of just one couple but this year the bloke next door has decided that the ravens need feeding.
So at feed time all sorts of Raven sorties and skirmishes erupt. The resident pair get to feed first then retire to a tree and watch all the rest [up to 25] have at it.
Four pretending to ignore the food {backs to it} and this one doing a test swoop.
Unless I get myself some sort of blind organised I will continue to get them in flight every time I go out to get pictures, willy birds these Ravens.

Amazing that they survive with some of the very low temperatures that you experience in Nain.
BTW I wanted to listen to the CBC programme from Nain on Christmas Eve but had to go out.
I'm wishing you a very Happy New Year, let's hope 2009 beings peace and happiness.
They not only survive but seem to thrive. At the moment they are seen all over town what with the over spilling garbage boxes.
With the presence of so many Ravens in our area the ever present [in past years] blue jays have not been sighted, too many predators I guess.
Happy new year to you sure.
