Corvus brachyrhynchos, most likely, just based on where I am. But I'm no ornithologist.

Canon R10, ƒ/16, 1/800, ISO-1600, 400mm.

Part of the deal with what I post here is that I deliberately put up pictures straight out of the camera. The board is Photography, after all, not "see how much you can twiddle with it in your image editor." In this case I was experimenting with which aperture value on my Bird Lens produces the sharpest result at a distance. I'm not entirely sure this guy was the best choice of subject. A black bird against a bright sky is like the archetypal beginner's trap that'll get you to screw up the exposure. But anyway, this shot I took at ƒ/14 was the one I liked best overall.

Bonus bird fight picture:

These two were scrapping over some kind of morsel. The one on the left ultimately wound up flapping away with it, whatever it was.
