Balancing Act

I caught this crow as it landed on the bank of the Alton Baker Park canal. It looks like it is balancing itself on the edge. The exposure was tough as I was facing the sun and the crow was jet black. this is the best I could do in those circumstances, but i like the effect. :)

I really like how you've captured this crow coming in for a landing! Super spread of the wings and outstretched leg! :)

Very cool! Love your timing, and even catching the reflection. Very well done, Vern.

Didn't see Judith's comment before I posted mine, but we were obviously listening to the same bird. ;-)

I can hear it saying, "C'mon, baby! just an inch or so farther. . . ."
