I came face to face with this black bird sitting on a fence when there was a slight drizzle which I think helped to accent the detail in its feathers.Shot at 1/60 second, f/9, ISO 800, 280mm (well, not QUITE face-to-face)
This is a photo of an American Crow for comparison.Maybe they are the same. The latter was captured at 1/200 sec. f/9, 800 ISO.
