Something To Crow About!:)


Among all the common birds that I see, the crow is the one that I usually do not bother to take a second look or photograph. But sometimes that changes. Like the day I was at my sister's (where I got the bug in my last post). I was actually hoping to see some dragonflies and get some good shots when this crow fell on the Sleeping Hibiscus bush. It didn't look that much of a fledgling but it faltered and flapped about before it unceremoniously  flew/fell to the ground. There was a lot of raucous cawing from the Indian Jujube tree (picture below) as all the mother hens crows flew in circles. With that kind of encouragement the learner made its way, maybe back to the nest. You can't tell which is which when it's a murder of crows!



But sometimes, sights like these make you feel that it's worth taking some shots. Silhouetted against the afternoon sky whether at rest or in flight, I'm glad to capture these crows!
