THE MOST UNDER RATED BIRD.....THE COMMON CROW
Ths lockdown period all over the world, due to COVID 19, has changed the way people reacted with nature for good. Nature got a breather from the incessant onslaught and aggression from we the humans. Within a very short time, nature bounced back with forgiveness and taught us the Humans the importance of the symbiosis between us and the environment.
I could see the changes physically, the freshness in the breath, the purity of the air, the chirping of the birds, the clarity of the night sky, the movements of the wild animals, all indicated that nature is in a happy mood and that nature has rejuvenated to a great extent.
In such a backdrop it is but natural to look at all that nature has to offer in a different light and that's where I and my camera shot a series of the portfolio shots of a common crow. I had all the time to observe the bird and was awestruck by its intelligence, problem-solving skills, and its perseverance.
The common crow is one hell of an intelligent bird. The bird that I shot in this series was a female and it was busy building its nest. It was searching for twigs and other material o build the nest. I would every day go up to my terrace and observe this bird's incessant tries to build a perfect nest for its eggs. In the terrace, there was a gunny bag and the bird took the strands of the bag and rushed to its nest to arrange the strands. In two days it did build a soft comfortable and durable nest and therein it laid five olive-colored eggs.
Now every day I visit my terrace and keep a watch on the nest and I just wonder what an impressive bird this is.
