“Faw

Pshaw their grinning beaks…blunt obsidian axe-blades”

Great crowsplaining!

The beauty of pigeons…”that twisted lariat of an air show…of wing and nature and ritual”…

I will be observing pigeons “in flight “ because of this poem!

I am a corvidophile.

Despite that, I saw a crow repeatedly diving at a scrambling squirrel which fascinated but got me rooting for the squirrel.

Liked the phrase ‘twisted lariat.’

Loved both of these and couldn't help reading them aloud even before you recommended it. Oh, the pigeon and crow stories I could tell! Thanks for capturing their voice and movements for a moment!
