This crow came as close as 10 feet from me and appeared oblivious to my presence. At a local wildlife refuge. The only other birds I saw was a flock of starlings.

Hi David,
Close-ups of ravens and crows reveal a lot about these intelligent birds. This guy is checking you out to see whether a snack will be available. Great details and love the catch-light in the eye. No nits from me–Well done…Jim
Hi David, nice details/exposure on the bird. I like the small mud bits on the beak - makes me think he has been foraging around somewhere. Love the eye - nice details and catchlight. Well done.
Superb detail for black plumage, David. I might go just a bit darker, but that’s a matter of taste. you got a nice little head turn. Excellent portrait.
