MOST ICONIC BIRD CALL BRACKET: THE FINALE: MOURNING DOVE vs. AMERICAN CROW.
these two combatants need no introduction. they've left a trail of destruction in their wake leading up to this. 32 birds, whittled down to just two.
THE MOURNING DOVE. embodiment of elegance and tranquility. its subtle beauty is a sight to behold. a voice that enchants the soul. a creature of resilience and adaptability. this is truly the peoples' bird.
THE AMERICAN CROW. a competitor that will leave you in awe with its enigmatic presence. it possesses unmatched intelligence, able to solve complex puzzles and exhibit remarkable problem-solving skills. and, of course, the caw. an unbeatable opponent.

While some might consider them "boring" due to how common they are, I find Crows both amazing to interact with and watch, as well as photograph. They're remarkably intelligent, omnivores, and always seemingly up to something or other.
This one here was with their buddy, hunting for worms and stuff in the grass. I think he was also hoping for some of the ever elusive chips that the children running around might have dropped from their own snack patch.
They grabbed something fun here, looked at me curious, then flew up to a tree where this bird wiped it's beak on a branch for a solid minute. Very curious.
I really like the challenge of photographing these birds because they're extremely hard to get exposure correct on and be able to capture detail. Also possible I'm horrible at this and they're not that difficult, just my newbie-ness showing :) Either way, they're great practice!
This beauty was photographed at 500mm and a 1/500 shutter speed. ISO was around 400, it's a very overcast day.

A Big Apple Feathursday
These collagraph prints by American artist, educator, and printer John Ross (1921-1917), made for the 1998 Birds of Manhattan, depict a few of the more common birds of that island against various architectural features of the city. It's sometimes easy to forget how biodiverse Manhattan is, particularly in bird life. Manhattan lies on the eastern route of the Atlantic flyway, so it receives many visitors as well as serving as a year-round residence for many species of birds.
The book, another donation form the estate of our late friend Dennis Bayuzick, was conceived, designed, illustrated and printed in an edition of 40 copies by John Ross at his East Hampton, New York High Tide Press in collaboration with relief aid officer and Greek and Latin scholar Lloyd Jonnes, who wrote the text. The binding, with its inset painted relief of a Cardinal, is by James D. Marcantonio at his Hope Bindery in Providence, R.I. This book was selected for the 1998 “50 Books / 50 Covers” by the American Institute for Graphic Arts in New York.

this american crow is silver in appearance due to a genetic mutation known as leucism. frequently mistaken for albinism, which is a complete lack of melanin, leucistic animal retain some pigment; they may have lighter coloration overall, or they may have a ‘piebald’ appearance with lighter coloration on only some portions of the body. leucism can be detrimental to birds, as melanin is important for both eyesight and feather structure; leucistic birds may have poor vision and weak, easily breakable feathers. however, some birds make it to adulthood and lead full lives - it appears this individual even raised offspring.

This crow stopped by on a rainy day! The food dish did get a bit flooded, but this fella didn't seem to mind and decided to drink out of that and then go bobbing for apples!
