Thank you! Honestly, most of those photos are crappy, amateurish and overexposed, but I did get some neat ones.
Those ravens were the best! I was at this beautiful spot on top of a bluff, and the thermals were doing really good things for birds. I also saw a black-shouldered kite and what was probably a red-shouldered hawk, though I couldn't make a definitive ID. Both hunting. (love those kites. There is absolutely nothing else that bird could possibly be). The ravens, like I said, flew really close, and then decided to give a show, doing all of these spins and dives...like, hey, there's this perfect wind, not so hard as to make us have to really pay attention to how we're flying but enough to give us something to really play with. Let's show off.
It's a good place to live. There's a lot of handy wilderness near Seattle (isn't that where you are?) too, isn't there?
