My Favorite: Hmmmm...a pretty common bird, one that I don't think twice about seeing, ANYWHERE I travel in South Dakota. And yet below, how many photos of an American Crow do I have? Zero!! Crows are smart...and they know human beings are generally not to be trusted. In South Dakota, they are a bird that's easily seen, but a bird that's difficult to approach to get within camera range. However, in other parts of the country, I've found them much easier to approach, particularly those that live in and around National Parks and other protected lands. My favorite photo of the species is the one below of an American Crow perched on a rock, at Ecola State Park in Oregon (near Cannon Beach, a gem of a park).
