I love crows. You’ll be hard pressed to find another bird with such varied portfolio. It’s not difficult to understand why: Over the ages, the blackbird (to lump the dark corvids under a common term) has appeared in all manner of stories, fables, and poetry.

Shortly after we had seen a documentary on corvids, I saw a co-worker using a broom to get something off a shelf. I asked if he was a crow just as he said “I’m a crow.”
