Crow Footage

These are three out of... five films I recorded of crows. A couple of them are good, the others are terrible XP I didn't manage to put them all up here because vimeo has limits to how many you can do a day... which I'm sure you guys already knew :)

I was hoping they could help you Alex understand a crow walk better. I know there are some videos on youtube etc. with them but sometimes good ones are hard to find. You already said to me when I showed you them that they'll be helpful so that's good news. However, I'm still on the hunt for a good landing film, aka. when they land on a street light.

Unfortunately I've seen them, I just didn't manage a decent filming. But by observing them I have an idea of how they do it. They tend to fly lower than the top point of the streetlight before lifting their legs up and allowing their flight speed and the wind to lift them up to the top. They then regain control by quickly flapping a few times before landing. I might make a sequence of sketches from what I have seen and I'll continue to get the landing on camera.

Watch out for the Bird Watcher with the hat crows! 8]
