 Taken at Stone Zoo (part of Zoo New England) during a birds of prey free-flight show. The bird is a pied crow who has been trained to recycle cans and bottles. He lands on an audience member's arm, takes an empty bottle/can from their hand, flies back to a recycling bin and deposits the bottle/can therein. Smart bird...

"Connecting you to the natural world" is actually one of Zoo New England's catchphrases.

I really like the sense of connection you got here, both in the photograph and emphasized through the words. For balance, you could crop a bit on the right if you wish. I like the realness of this - a good capture.
