Hungry Bird

Ravens are incredibly intelligent birds, able to open zippers to get at food inside. This Yellowstone raven saw me get a small package of trail mix out of the SUV in which I was traveling and immediately flew to a couple of feet from where I was standing. 

Knowing the problems people cause by feeding wildlife, I didn't share the trail mix with this handsome bird. 

This photo was taken with an 18-135 mm lens as the bird waited on the ground. I like the detail on the face, and the bit of snow in the beak.
