Perhaps this will help you get your caption-writing mojo working: I took this image a few weeks ago in Yellowstone National Park. The bird is a common raven. The women were sharing a sandwich.
Good luck to one and all!
The bird eyed the pair with an experienced eye. The signs were clear - sandwich clutched firmly, food in lap covered by an arm, everything else squeezed into the narrow gap between them to block access. Clearly this was not their first outdoor lunch in raven country.
ReplyDeleteBirders...they're "raven" lunatics!
ReplyDeleteThey drove up in a Subaru Forester. With my luck, they're gonna be vegetarians.
ReplyDeleteI love sandwich shops that deliver. Hope they remembered the mustard.
ReplyDeleteOh, great there's bread! This is a chance to use my frightening bread hunting call, here goes...."CAW"RB! "CAW"RB!!
ReplyDeleteQuoth the raven, "Gimme a s'more".
ReplyDeleteErik Bruder: Dude never gives the rest of us a snowball's chance. Prizehog.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a mountain airy, while I lunched, on tuna and Sobe berry,
ReplyDeleteOver many a pint and Peterson guide we all adore,
While I plotted, carefully mapping, suddenly there came a flapping,
As of some one stridently vamping, vamping on the blacktop floor.
“Tis some scoundrel,” I uttered, “hoping for my albacore”,
Only puns, and nothing more.
Hey! Your sandwich is bigger! I got rooked!
ReplyDeleteEbony and Ivories... Live together in perfect harmony!
ReplyDelete"HELLOOO…how many birders does it take to unpack a lunch??? Obviously more than two. Better not be chicken again…"
ReplyDeleteEric, dude!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
Loki, the shape shifter considers going bear in order to get the sandwich.
In "The Raven's Guide to Tourists", Rule #1 states "Act disinterested. Soon they will throw food in a desperate need for attention."
ReplyDeleteoverheard as the raven plotted his attack..."I want the bag in the middle."
ReplyDeleteHuh, call themselves birders, they're supposed to be looking at ME.
ReplyDelete"HEY YOU over there, da dee dee da da, look at me, I'm a raven, I'm a raven."
"Who could have taken our silverware?" exclaimed Fran and Edna.
ReplyDeleteThree-day-old rotten sammies from the trash can? Quoth the raven, with a chuckle,....."Nevermore"
ReplyDeleteI hope they are having Raven Bran.

OK, this one's obscure unless you've read Celtic mythology or have been to the Tower of London.
