Never seen this species before. You did a good job on the blacks. Black birds are very difficult to expose properly. Cool eye.

Great capture. This must be viewed in the larger detail window to see all the fine details of your photograph.

I was just going to say it looks like an exotic crow, and then I read your description, haha sad

. You'd think those thistle branches would be uncomfortable to perch on. Nice photo!
