crm211b Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Hi, What are these guys? They were flying in formation with synchronized wing beats today in Ottawa, Canada. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any shots except from directly underneath, but they were swooping around quite quickly and, if I had to guess, I would have said ravens. However, as you can see, they have white marks on their faces (this was obvious in real life as well as in the pictures). I have never seen ravens with white markings before. Could it be a trick of the light? It didn't seem to disappear as the angle of changed. What are these guys? Thanks, Darryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) Blue Jays, I think. They can look quite dark, and the bill is too small for raven. Edited January 29, 2022 by meghann 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see the dark bib. Great example on how they aren’t actually Blue, they just look it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
