A bird that I see more than any other, is the Common Raven. A very confident bird, always up to something, easily moves around on the ground and even more so in the air. They are exciting to watch, even more when they are interacting with other birds or mammals. They will hide food for another occasion, call out for a predator to alert them of a prey or carcass. If the predator is successful breaking the skin of a carcass or hunting down a prey, then the raven also gets to eat. There are many times during the cold days of winter, when all I see and or hear is a raven or two. The temperature in the morning was around minus 30 degrees, one raven was on a snow pile and another perched on a tree. Light snow was falling while the raven looked for food. I moved a little bit to the right and then to the left to get the background I wanted. Anytime it would put its head up, I would take the pictures. Once done, I was off to get warm and the raven kept searching.
