Also like number two in the first set. The bird on the upper left reminds me of the Atlanta Falcons helmet logo. A bit.

Great captures!

Love them all*! The first one of the two crows in flight is probably my favourite. The robin is very pretty (if a little chubby!), we don't have them down here. Thanks for sharing.

*Got to pick a nit with the last one of the second set. Don't you know you should never direct a couple to look in opposite directions out of the frame? What were you thinking?

Splendid pictures of the Robin and the Ravens, especially the 1st Raven shot. (Yes, they are Ravens. Crows are the smaller cousin of Ravens. Just ask Edgar Allan Poe.)
