Blackbird

This is an American crow perched on a shorepine branch and deciding whether to stay or fly away. Because of the flat backlighting on an overcast sky the usual slight gloss on his plumage is not visible but his alert character makes a good portrait I think.
When he was flying earlier his tail looked like a fan, not diamond or wedge-shaped like a raven's tail.
