  13. I have a big weakness for the corvid family. Such intelligent birds. And, I think, beautiful with it. Thank you.

  15. Jackdaw ..same as a crow? Do you have crows too and these are different? I find it hard to identify between crows and ravens. Neat photos Bob

  16. HI Bob. Great shots. I always think these birds look angry. I think it must be the white eye against the black plumage.

  24. Bob, it LOOKS like a loud bird too! This morning I heard the sound of hornbills close by. I went out to investigate and sure enough, they were perched on a mast making a lot of noise!

  25. Interesting bird. Looks like a cross between a Crow and Grackle!

  28. Bob, we don't have those here, but the crows are just as noisy! That's a strange place for it to perch!
