 This is the one and only shot I took of a bird for this challenge. I saw the crow up on the loudspeakers near our apartment and quickly grabbed my camera, took one shot and then went in to get my tripod, in hopes of taking a couple more. But, of course, the cawer was gone when I came out. Ah well, I think this shot conveys perfectly how I feel about taking pictures of birds!

Nicely different entry. Couple of spots in the white to the left hand side of the image, better check your lens.

some flash would have helped here, I can see no details in the silhouette.
