Albatrosses are very cool, but they have a bit of an image problem with their take-offs and landings, lol. They are one of the largest birds and can coast for long periods of time because of they way they're built. Their shoulders are made a special way so that when they coast/glide, their metabolism remains at the resting rate or something to that effect because the food availability is far and wide.
and that is a magnificent pic of a raven or crow.
