Crow Behavior

How do crows behave in the skies...take a look. Look at the intent in its eyes..the far away look. obviously there's lots of programming in its intent and its smooth sailing and so...so much in control of what's happening below. Truly free!

It was fun to take this shot....it was one of those day's which made me run up to my terrace......and i found hundreds of these crows flying around, quite animated......i guess the cause was a fledling crow, unable to fly and probably hurt by a larger bird.....

Crows rarely glide...but i always get a feeling that they sense the real environs when they fly....the clouds look ominous and the really...really black crow gives it the stelthy image..it may have.

Here's another example of the stelthy image it creates for me, but of course , its not as impressive as the following photograph where it looks like those stelth bombers the US Air force is known for...i hope i'm right!

This was such fun! This crow really stopped in its tracks! Poor guy, he would have been shocked by me with this black camera on a terrace pointing at him, maybe ominously...Hee Hee...it stopped him in his tracks....cruel isn't it,,,,,,though i did not mean to be so!

I should have given a much more closer definition of the wings for you.....as in the introductory photo....but this crow to me is so majestic in its countenance...She's truly a marvelous creation of God.....

Karimbi is a Good old friend and she's waiting for me. 'Karimbi' in the South Indian language, Malayalam is a cute expression for 'the black one' normally a friendly adjective for a young girl. 'Karimbi' because of its reference to color, can also be in its racial derogatory form and hence may not be appropriately used within a family, for example.

This shot is part of an original photograph with 4-5 crows sitting on a branch, seen from top down by a bridge in Chennai. The climate was was moody and these crows were as usual pensive, as if waiting for something to happen.

Of course, seeing me they flew away...across the river. I'm happy anyway that i captured this Raven waiting for her loved one.....

Crows are so suspicious! They are clever, full of adrenaline and as i said ever suspicious! I caught this guy looking at me while he was watching a fish vendor down below....with his basket full of the choicest fish.

The ladies were arguing and negotiating the price with the vendor and this crow was waiting for its chance to pounce on the pieces or even a whole fish, when i came into the picture with my camera.......

The look shows curiousity, searching for my intent, while being fully aware of the other crows around waiting for their chance, their turn and the stone which is usually thrown by the fishy guy......

Crows twist their head sideways and upwards as if listening intently...but i'm happy that i got this candid one......

It was great to write this too....so you see...this picture too says a thousand stories.....thank you for reading!

Cheeky look isn't it......This is my private area...why do you intrude is the look in his eyes....this was another crow waiting around the fish...

I saw this guy looking at a fish vendor down below! I guess he's looking at me too. This shot is the full profile of the crow described earlier...
