Common Raven

COMMON RAVEN (CORVUS CORVAX), WHITEFISH POINT, MICHIGAN, AUGUST 8, 2012

Pentax K-5
SMC Pentax-DA 55-300 at 300mm
1/800 sec. f10
ISO 1600

This raven was hopping about on the dry grass in front of the lighthouse at Whitefish Point when I captured it. Luckily, the angle of the midmorning light was just right so that it was reflected rather than absorbed, as so often happens with black birds. Click for larger version.
