Hundreds of crows are visible in the air above apartment towers in downtown Berlin. It's just after sunset, the sky is still a calm blue, and many city lights have just been turned on.

A pigeon is relaxing their wing to the side so that they can reach around to the feathers at the base of their tail. Their eyelid is half closed but they are clearly focused on their task.

A young hooded crow is pumping their wings in mid-air, trying to take off as a garbage collection truck pulls up to a dumpster piled high with all kinds of trash. A metal bbq on wheels sits abandoned in the background.

About a dozen pigeons are gathered on a wooden board suspended by wire in front of a window in a stone building. Many of the pigeons are looking around, taking stock of the situation, and one has leapt into the air to fly away.

Many crows are flying around downtown berlin at night. By lengthening the exposure and moving the camera with them they appear against a blur of city lights.
more chaos at the roost
i'm struggling with slow-shutter-panning shots of many of crows at once β they are a very disorderly bunch

A long eared owl sits in a large nest built of sticks high in an evergreen tree. Everything is dripping wet in a cold winter rain.

It's nighttime, lots of streetlights are lit, and a pigeon is hunched over drinking from a puddle next to someone standing at a food cart parked on the streets of brooklyn.

Bonfire night is here! Sending love to those sheltering with animal companions
@wascherclaudia.bsky.social and I have new research out about the impacts fireworks have on urban corvids: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/v...

As Bonfire Night approaches, new research lnkd.in/epBXK8Tu by @distrustful-dinos.bsky.social and me shows that fireworks significantly disturb urban corvids. OA: ecoevorxiv.org/repository/d...

Wow, thank you!!!
A pigeon has the neck arched downward and is focused intently on preening the alula feathers of their wing. The muddled green and brown background hints at late summer β molting time.

A crow fills the frame as they fly past, their tail feathers splayed and their legs extended in preparation for a nearby landing.

A hooded crow is flying through a mid-summer rain. They're pumping their wings hard and you can see their feathers are frayed and waterlogged β worn out from an intense year of use. Molting will come soon!
