Hello everyone in this lovely Community. We all welcome Round 81 of this contest, the Show Me A Picture or SMAP hosted by 
The theme for this week is:
A BIRD YOU HAVE IDENTIFIED
I have always been fascinated and at the same time frustrated with this particular bird which live among the trees at the back of our house. There used to be about 5 of them but now they have grown in number and I can see more of them. My fascination comes from the fact that this bird is the biggest of its kind living at the back. My frustration stems from the realization that using a cell phone to photo them almost always result in disaster. Too small, too far, too blurred, too whatever you call it I have it. I have some small successes before but not worth a mention in the National Geographic hahaha.
See some of my attempts below.
It obviously is a crow. I have in earlier posts shared some of my good ones, the best of which is this.
I had some doubts though if it is a raven but members of the Community confirmed that it is a crow. So that's it. That's how I identified him. But I have not given up trying to get better shots and last month I was able to take a really good one. Welcome, my crow!
Not yet National Graphic material but am just thrilled I got a good one with my cell phone.
For this SMAP Round 81, I am submitting the last photo as my entry.
