Chihuahuan raven

Chihuahuan ravens are somewhat smaller than common ravens and tend to have pale bases to their neck feathers (you can see this in the photograph of a wind-blown bird). This raven was coming to bait: a beef kidney strapped to the tree it's sitting on. I took this photograph on a ranch near Roma, Texas.
