Fluidr / 2205_4595 Raven With Prize by wild prairie man

Big crop and some upscaling on this one, so the usual quality isn't there, but I couldn't resist. This Common Raven has made off with a nice meal - looks like a Canada Goose egg. There are lots of nesting geese along the marshy margins of Newton Lake. The raven probably planned its theft carefully; on my end, there was no planning or anticipation, just reaction. A cool moment - something I haven't seen before.

Photographed in the Frenchman River Valley at Newton Lake, near Val Marie, Saskatchewan (Canada). Don't use this image on websites, blogs, or other media without explicit permission ©2022 James R. Page - all rights reserved.
