Eliza Waters 
Very peaceful and soothing.
Thank you, Maria. š
I do like seeing the crows gather in the evening…
We don’t see huge flocks here in the hills, but down by the CT river, they have big flocks in winter. The local Audubon used to have field trips to view the roosts, but obviously, not this year.
A beautiful photograph, Eliza.
Thank you, Anne.
Yes. Wonderful. I see hope here, waiting to bloom.
Thank you, Cindy. Life continues…
Seeing birds in flight is a wonderful site to behold. š
Yes, indeed. I’ve never witnessed such a huge flock, it took several minutes to pass by. Amazing!
Sometimes when I see something spectacular, I forget to take a photo because Iām so caught up in the moment. š
Beautiful photo
Thank you, Ellen!
Love the tree silhouette’s too
Thank you, Karina. I was shooting the tree line when they happened by, adding interest to the shot.
š
This really repaid bigifying
Glad you did that, Derrick, I was shooting the tree line when they started to fly by, so no chance to change lenses. Overall, the effect was pleasing, I think. š
Indeed
My view right now looks similar to this shot. It’s very gray today, but that header shot is definitely not gray. It’s a beauty.
Thank you, Judy. š
Very nice shot!
Thank you very much, Hien!
After a hard day of work, especially on a gloomy day, home is a special place.
Yes, it is. š Thanks, Frank.
A serene scene, so nice to see the crows flying together to their evening’s roost.
Thank you, Donna, I’ve never seen so many at one time. Pretty neat.
I can easily imagine the caaw-caawing. Pleasant dreams, crows. You have a bluebird on your railing…almost as wonderful as on your shoulder!
Thanks, Alice. Yes, he stayed there quite a while, so nice to see one so close.
Very nice Eliza! Enjoyed seeing it!
Thank you, Reed. š
Free in the grey skies.
Indeed. The flock was about a mile long – so cool to see!
A beautiful capture Eliza! š
Thank you, Xenia! x
A sight that always fascinates me. Nice capture!
Thank you, Laurie!
Looks like the weather here, Eliza….lots of grey and cold! Sun is supposed to return tomorrow!
Gray gets old really fast this time of year! š
I agree. A little sun makes such a difference.
Today gave us a flawless, bluebird sky, temps in the mid-30s and the sun made our walk most pleasant. More of those, please! š
That’s for sure!
I can’t believe how many birds there were. We’re lucky to see two or three together, let alone a mile’s worth of crows. Seagulls and pelicans, yes, but not crows. Just now, the robins are migrating through in great groups, but they’re not nearly so neat or disciplined.
Thank you, Linda. It boggles the mind where they find enough to feed such a large group. They must have to fly many miles in a wide arc from their roost each day.
Love how you captured the crows and I’m very familiar again this year with the gray winter’s day! Our crows had disappeared, but have let us know throughout the mornings this weekend that they have returned.
Thank you, S! I wonder where they went? They are interesting to watch and quite intelligent birds. I’ve read that they never forget a face!
It looks so peaceful, but if they are like their southern cousins there must have been quite a cacophony going š
Thank you, Val. There was a fair amount of calling back and forth. I even saw one double back to collect what was probably a straggling family member. Their social structure is pretty sophisticated. Fascinating birds.
Lovely winter scene!
Thank you, Belinda!
Love this.
Thank you, Jill. š
Just love the skeletal shapes of the trees
Thank you, Diana. I do tooā I was shooting the trees and the crows were the icing on the cake.
Being able to see that is a gift to you from nature!
Absolutely! š Thanks, Karen.
A beautiful silhouette. š
Thank you, Irene. x
It’s nice to see them flying away to roost elsewhere. After seeing one of their communal roosts in a local neighborhood backyard, I’ve been grateful that they’ve never chosen my garden for that honor (although breeding pairs nest here on occasion).
Yes, I know what you mean. I can’t imagine thousands of them cawing first and last thing every day. Harsh!
I’ve been seeing large crow gatherings lately, especially on the barren Hadley fields. Yesterday while shopping what seemed like a hundred or more Canada Geese flew overhead. It was a raucous pleasure.
I guess numbers for some species are increasing, like geese and crows. Still, it is a thrill to see so many at once!
Unlike dust spots, these needn’t be removed from the picture.
š Thanks, Steve.
Gorgeous capture! Sometimes, only a black-and-white photo conveys the mood and message we’re trying to get across. I think you’ve done that here.
Thank you, Debbie. š
This is a beautiful image, Eliza. I’m glad I clicked on it to really be able to look. I love the rhythm of the crows and their flight mimics the treetop line. The detail in the silhouetted trees is captivating. Excellent shot.
Thank you kindly, Jane!
Very peaceful!
Thank you, Fi. It’s nice to see some order to the universe. š
you captured winter-I would frame it. Just beautiful.
Thank you very much, Michele. š
This is a gorgeous shot Eliza. The shape of the hill and bare trees make a lovely composition. Then you have the birds to top it off! A+
š Thank you very much, Denise, much appreciated! x
Very atmospheric – it is beautiful but rather bleakly so!
Thank you. Yes, it was a pretty grim, gray day!
