It was in the middle of the cold spell last month, like the ones we used to regularly get each winter. I think the morning temperature was minus 31 degrees Celsius. Second morning with temperatures in the minus thirties. To keep warm, I ran to the location, no tripod was going to be used and the camera was ready right out of the backpack. I knew the location like the back of my hand. There was enough time from two locations to shoot from, this one was the first and ended up being the better of the two that morning. Thanks to the two Common Ravens, they made the image twice as good. Both were making their way east when they saw me. Perhaps hoping for a meal or were just curious, they started to circle in front of me. I shot when they were in the right place and tried to get them and the background in focus. This image was my favorite from that morning. They aren’t blocking the Cascade Mountain and both are easily recognized.
