First, a solemn fellow or two. Or proof that life is fucking disappointing, because whenever in a fantasy novel a crow or raven lands in front of you they have a message from some overlord or lady that sends you off on an interesting quest. All I got was being croaked at.

Sorry about the message. Perhaps this crow was just the scout and your message is still en route.
This crow is beautiful, though, and that third shot is stunning.

Oh, I love the third one. Those beautiful feathers!
