I hear the Rain Crow often while I’m outdoors, but this bird has been very difficult for me to photograph. They mainly forage in dense shrubs and trees. The above photo is actually a young Rain Crow that was being fed by the mother.

These photos were taken at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.

These guys are hard to see, let alone photograph. Well done!

G-R-E-A-T pictures of the Rain Crow. We hear them all the time while sitting on our deck. Bill said, “I just wish I could see a Rain Crow at least one time.” So, I googled rain crow, and your photoblog came up. Thanks for such detailed pictures. Wonderful work capturing the magnificant RAIN CROW. We now know what the Rain Crow looks like. Thanks, to you!

I have been watching birds for a few years and never saw this bird in my backyard until yesterday. I was so elated. These pics are great. Thank you.
