    Default Rare capture!

    Haha, made you look!

    Corvus reptilicus, captured in Yellowstone National Park. Seldom seen and reclusive, this living fossil represents the large branch in the genetic tree, when reptiles and birds were only a couple of amino acids apart, and sometimes not even that much...



    Sorry for the funky background. You have to take these rare opportunities as you get them!

    Kerry, This is so funny! I think you did a wonderful job with the merge and the humor is terrific! I might try to evict the one white line in the BG that is on a slight diagonal, but I realize that this was probably just for fun. Nice job.

    Kerry,

    Now that's just plain wicked. Great job with blending the reptile into the bird... nice touch with the bit of blue in the throat to match the color of the bird feathers. Well done.
