Large-billed Crow, Ueno Park, Tokyo
Carrion Crow, Miyajima Island near Hiroshima
Wow! The Large-billed Crow is so impressive it is actually a bit scary. We saw both of Japan's crows, the Carrion Crow more than the Large-billed Crow. Much easier to identify than Australian's ravens! The calls are different too. Large-billed Crow: loud clear krroh or kaw; Carrion Crow: loud hoarse kraa.
Cool looking crow, it has an awesome looking beak! Great shots!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see and photograph both crows. Impressive looking birds!
ReplyDeleteI think most of the shorebirds in Cairns are seen down this way also. It will be interesting to see photos of them.
Wow...they are similar to a raven. Or are they? None the less, great images.
ReplyDeleteAwesome shots!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Wow, look at the beak on that guy!
ReplyDeleteThe first shot shows why he is so aptly named. :)
ReplyDeleteNice shots!
That really is some beak!
ReplyDeleteI have to say the pink ear is more visible on the computer screen than in the wild!! A 'scope helps, but I cant honestly say I see the pink in the field that often!
Cheers and thanks for linking to WBW.

Wonderful shots of these awesome looking crows. It would be easy to be intimidated by that large bill!
