AUSTRALIAN RAVEN ON GROUND & TAKING OFF, ROYAL NATIONAL PARK, AUDLEY, NSW, AUSTRALIA

   We can ID this bird as an Australian Raven by its black color, white eyes, hackles on throat (if you look closely you can just make some out) and location (this eliminates two similar crows).

   The Australian Raven is a new species to our Photographic Life List, which now stands at 621a.
