During the brief but spectacular (sorry NPR) trip to Yosemite I met a crow (actually I'm not sure which member of the Corvid family this bird belonged to) that was absolutely unafraid of the photographer and, in fact seemed to strike poses until I gave up taking pictures. I half expected to be given a business card with an e-mail address for the model release and payment.
This is one bright creature with personality to spare.
Also, for a change, we're talking color photos.
This pose brought to mind Winston Spencer Churchill...
Clearly a student of the movies...Are you ready for your close up?
Staying with the movie theme...You lookin' at me?
Hail fellow well met...
