Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Raven Ravens tend to hang around the parking areas in Yellowstone so it’s not too hard to capture a few images of them. Ravens are among the smartest of all birds and have accompanied people around the Northern Hemisphere for centuries by following their wagons, sleds, sleighs, and cars looking for a quick meal. Ravens are really quite amazing birds. They can fly over 20,000 feet. They adapt to a very wide variety of habitats including the harsh climate in Yellowstone. They adapt to living around humans quite well. They’ll eat a wide variety of foods. They even befriend wolves while still sharing in the wolves bounty. Yes, amazing birds!

The Back Story This image came from a simple click in a Yellowstone parking area. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
