    These are amazing. Every field research camera is there in hopes of capturing data but these go beyond that into "art."
    Thank for all the work you did, wreness. Quite a project.

    Now to go enjoy my 15 minutes of fame on Page 2 😃

    An outstanding job compiling a ton of images - Well done wreness! Where would we be without you?

    And also a huge thanks to the many volunteers who put in hours of staring at their computer screens counting ravens or the like and then discovering on some amazing pictures both in the name of science and art.

    Keep up the great work and brilliant comments - that's what makes CW outstanding!

    That was really good Wreness! I saw so many great photos I had never seen before, I loved the proudest condor and the something else categories the best. What a fabulous way to collate the best pictures.

    Thank you to everyone I would never have seen them if it wasn't for the people who entered and of course Wreness
