Corvus corax

really brought out the blue in this guy's feathers. © Carol Davis, 10-14-07
These two reminded me of an 18th century
schoolmaster and the
little missus, dressed all in black
and sitting so prim and proper. This idea soon changed when they commenced kissin' and a
huggin' like newlyweds. She seemed a little needy on this beautiful winter day at Garr Ranch
on Antelope Island, Utah.

When the missus wanted a some attention, two little horns would stand out on the top of her head and she
would start snuggling. Then Mr. Raven would scratch her under the chin, around the neck or on
top of the head, as shown below:
She was not shy about wanting to be the center of attention and let her mate know about it
often. Usually when I stop to take pictures of ravens they fly immediately, and they did
move in a little closer to the trunk of the tree, but these two were focused mainly on
each other. I really enjoyed watching their intimate moments from my car.
