I’m near enough to raven territory that I get to see them somewhat regularly and it’s a real treat - they’re so beautiful, and huge! I really like their vocalizations. My favorite though is the Fish Crow. Its vocalization never fails to make me chuckle, and they’re a sign you’re near the coast!

Anyway I had the opportunity to work with a crow at a wildlife rehab, and they’re so amazing in general. I was volunteering/learning raptor handling, but this crows trick was being able to recycle. Anyway they’re smart and pretty and prevent soooo many diseases by eating dead stuff! Shout out to them all (and ofc the vultures); vastly misunderstood and under appreciated for the good that they do.
