This week's PhotoHunt theme is Black. Crows in National Parks are very comfortable with people and it's much easier to get up close. I think many of the visitors feed them, even though this is strictly against the rules because it is not good for the birds. A few weeks ago I used a photo of two crows in Zions National Park and this one is of a solitary crow in Yellowstone National Park.

I like the new 'look'....very professional. This is a beautiful photo, up close and personal.
P.S. Forgot to mention, I also like you new blog title, very clever and inviting.
This is a really cool and fantastically taken shot!

I know just what you mean about the crows and ravens in the National Parks. Recently I got a few pictures of one along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Nice capture.
Here's my take on black.
Most excellent!
NOw that is one magnificent bird.. but then I love corvids. Have a great weekend
Great shot Scott - I really like the ruffled feather look - that isn't easy to capture.
Have a great weekend.
Not the most beautiful birds, the crow is very clever. You managed to capture this, I think. Never been to Yellowstone although some day I hope to.
beautiful bird. it's amazing how you were able to capture it perfectly.
That crow looks so much bigger than the crows around here! Nicely captured!
Scary .... I don't like those birds ...

That is one handsome crow and a beautiful shot! I remember how tame the crows were at the Grand Canyon. One perched on the back of the bench I was sitting on. I have never been that close to a crow before.
Wow! I love crows and this is an amazing photo of him!
Happy weekend.
what a perfect shot and great choice for the theme.
Great closeup shot of the crow. I love them. They are such smart birds.
i find crows quite intimidating with their mysterious eyes. that's a great shot!
What an excellent bird. He looks all shiny and healthy and handsome. Nice composition, too.

Great photo and have to say that I like your blog's new title! :)
Beautiful photo. The best photo I've seen so far today in the hunt!
I would think this is a Raven, not a Crow. Still a fantastic shot!
What a great photo, very impressive! Although, I wasn't bothered by your previous blog title I really like your new one, quite creative!
Beautiful photo!
Hey, you changed your blog all the way around. I like it.
Great shot of the crow.
Great one!
The detail in the feathers is amazing! So neat that you were able to capture it.
I like the new blog title, too. The old one didn't bother me, but the new is very fitting for the tone of your blog.
Thanks for stopping by my PH! Have a great weekend!
What a great capture of this bird! Hva a great saturday !
Great PH!!
Wonderful shot of the crow and perfect for the theme. I like your new blog look and new name although I thought your old name was fun.
Your black bird is perfect for the theme. I like your blogs new look.
Wow ! what a black beauty !!
wow...perched majestically! what a great view indeed - the bird's and your new blog...beautiful! :)
Scott, love this majestic shot of the crow. Also sure like your new look!!!
Very cool, Scott ... a perfect 'black' shot! Happy May shooting :)
Scott: great new look, but I claim I got the humour of the previous one. I wanted a murder of crows, but as you know, I only take photos of myself....and I leave myself open there...
Wow- this is the better than best photography blog in the world! :)
Nice shot of the crow! I was tempted to post red-winged blackbirds...but chose a black cat for good luck instead. :)
Beautiful closeup! we have lots of these pesky crows here.
I really like the new header photo, very pretty. Ah the crows, they can be a nuisance but they are very striking.
WOW! Nice bird! Oh... New look of your site too! Have a great weekend!
Wow, what an amazing photo Scott! I'm looking forward to seeing how many black, ok black and interesting, photos you can find. So far day one is fantastic, how you can take the crow and make it look so good is beyond me.
Scott,what the others can't see is that the raven actually has goose (raven) bumps under its feathers. That was a pretty cold day. Complements on the fine photo,just the right exposure with great detail.
Uh what's in a name some would say. But I love the change (did though got your sense of humour guess I'm much on the same page as you and often wonder how others interpetate -is that spelling correct- my sayings).
Well anyhooowww love the crow.
Happy sunny sunday to you and yours.
Hugs Dagmar
Great photo for the theme black.
I love your new layout, it looks great and I find it easier to navigate :-)
Wow! Spectacular pic! Love it :)
great pic!
like the new look/name!
That's a great shot Scott! Very clear and superb composition. Judging by its beak I'd bet it's a raven too, but let's not split feathers over this ...
btw - 'Finding Another View' = fav; it sure is.
Absolutely spectacular shot! I am impressed and really enjoying it.
