American Crow, Point Reyes National Seashore

Crows aren’t the most beautiful or colorful birds.  The same holds true for ravens.  However,they are both blessed with one attribute that would seem to be more important in the wild — intelligence.   Studies have shown crows and ravens to be among the most intelligent of all birds.  What I like about this photo is the effect from the eye’s nictitating membrane.
