"Dare To Be Different" (Rare White Raven)

Hello my Friend, you’re most welcome. :o-) They are so entertaining to view (Black or White Ravens). We so enjoyed capturing their antics on video as well as via our Olympus eVolt cameras. The 5 sibliings flew upwards spontaneously, far above us and played “dogfights” for over 40 mins right after this photo was taken. The two whites were every bit as talented as fliers and leaders as their 3 siblings. We followed their progress for a few months after we discovered them (by hearing about them on the local news). It was a life-changing experience to see them on each visit we made there. They are so intelligent and full of personality. :o-)

WOW!! How amazing and inspiring!! Stunning photography also!!! I am wanting to paint a few of these guys now – just wow!

Wow! What a find!!!!! Congrats on a rare bird and an amazing shot!

I have never seen a white raven. How beautiful and well captured.

Thanks for sharing and also the information is fantastic.

huninn and muninn .. odin’s two spirit birds .. thought and memory … (smile)

look what I found …

Three rare white ravens rescued from death’s clutch

the article suggests those three were rejected by their clan and also there is something wrong with their genes .. hmmpf .. could be but I wouldn’t call it wrong .. and as for the clan rejecting them .. my first thought was that there must be more pressures on survival in their neighborhood than on Vancouver Island …

ps I think the wildlife manager there really doesn’t know her birds …. she stated that she believed they were attacked by other crows …. they cousins but ravens are not crows …

Wow I Love Raven spirit!!!!!!!!!!! excellent Skye!!!

this is great, skye.

Wow..this is beautiful Skye : ) well done Wen. x

How wonderful for you to have taken such a rare photo! Congrats

Great capture

Great photo of white raven! An awesome find!

How cool, I have never seen one of these birds, thanks for sharing.

Amazing!! Just amazing!! They are so beautiful. :) :) :)

Wonderful! I love ravens, they are such wonderful birds. Australian Ravens make different sounds to those in the Northern Hemisphere: I was listening to some out the back of my dad’s place in Perth and one in particular seemed to be reciting poetry in its own language. Well, that’s the impression I was struck with: it seemed to have metre and even stanzas, the way it was cawing.

A couple of months ago, before I even knew there were white ravens, I wanted to take one of my raven pictures and make it white. I haven’t the skill or maybe the software for that. Later, I rented the DVD of a film called Mongol, a Russian film about Genghis Khan. Once, many years ago, when I used to go to a group in Perth (I now live in Sydney) for meditation and the like…well, a couple of the people there used to channell and one told me that I had been Genghis Khan in a past life. Who knows – maybe I thought, though I was not keen on being a former warlord type. But watching the video, I found out that Genghis Khan’s symbol was a white raven so that made me wonder. He had the wishbone of one on a cord.

It’s wonderful that these creatures exist, though.

Oh, great shot by the way. Birds can be hard work for the camera.

great shot - would love to see one of these given all of their lore and special attributes applied to them - there is a wild leucistic desert lark hanging around where I live for the last 4 years, I am amazed that something so visible and so different can survive in the wild – glad you posted this—dave

You are so very much welcome. :) :)

I have the rare privilege of caring for a 2 year old Chihuahuan Raven at a small Zoo. She was taken from the wild by person who thought it would be “cool” to have as a pet.
Qouth, or Q ,has white feathers under her black feathers. Since she trusts me enough to stroke her ,I can ruffle up the black to show the public her white feathers. She is in our educational program.
Your picture is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

simply amazing, a friend of mine up in canada sent me a photo of white raven last year, incredible creature and same with blue eyes!

Amazing capture! Ravens, crows, Blackbirds, Magpies and Owls are all part of my totem family since I was a child….I used to dream of two white ravens telling me of my children was I was still a child…I had the three children they told me of…even the third 15 years apart from the first:) Would love to see more of this wonderful blessing from the Goddess! or Gods Or Universe or whatever path you wander:)
