Crystal Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 My Grandma has a friendly neighbor who requested pictures of raven (I have known him forever... I used to think he was an uncle!) . Stangest part about this is that he is blind :shock: . He lost his sight completely years ago due to disease, but when he could see the raven was his favorite bird. He first saw one in Fort Mac when he was 25 - he is about 70 now. Here are the pictures I got for him. Croaking raven: Croaking raven (2): (I don't know, but if I saw a fish this puffed up I would be grabbing the salt!) what are you laughing at?: A younger bird - the previous pictures are probably the parent: That is snow on the beak - he was digging for some old raisins I had thrown in the snow to lure them in close. They are pretty leary, I couldn't get close to them on the ground... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalgaryFan Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I still stand by my statement, that ravens are creepy @$$ birds..haha. Really nice pictures thought, and awesome story, I couldn't imagine having sight at birth, then losing it later in life, I wouldn't be able to stand not seeing the beauty in life!
