Same Bird

This is the same bird as from the previous post. This may be a better view for any bird identifiers out there! (Callan?)

Oooh! Clearly a RAVEN... Very different silhouette from a hawk.

Well.... Maybe not "clearly"... but that's what it looks like from this angle... the diamond shaped tail and what-not.

But... as I look through the Sibley guide, some of the hawk silhouettes look pretty similar. Maybe it's not so different as I thought at first glance... but I'm 65% positive it's a raven.

A raven! Well, I may have known that when I was taking the picture - but maybe not. We have all kinds of ravens around the mine property.

I think our Sibley's is back at the lake. Or maybe it's around here somewhere. Maybe. I think you're right, though.

It's a raven not because of the tail feathers or anything, it's a raven 'cos it has "fingers" on the end of its wings, something rather unforgettable. :D

Thanks, Koneko!
