    Pic # 1 ~ A small country town called Popyanining (Pop - ya - nin - ing) where monuments feature in these sorts localities for those that went away, a bit of countryside, open plain but not that open more to follow on that one.

    The black bird at 3:00 in Pic # 3 is a crow (Raven for you guys) they are opportunistic scavengers that I take great pleasure in dusting I have personally witnessed them pecking the eyes out of a ewe still alive that has gone down with a lamb in a breach birth.
    Any sick animal they like the foxes go for the soft areas eyes, lips, rear areas of animals does not matter if dead or alive also crows are very adept at stealing eggs from chook runs and know the difference between a rifle and a stick which has been proven many times by me and hunting buddies.
    And like a fox do not miss because they become even more gun shy best results I had was at a sheep shed, winged one then kept him there poked the barrel out of the louvered window picked 5 out of the trees who came to see ol' squawking mate!

    Then the 25Pdr at Brookton (2 parts to this stop)

    "Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting—
    "Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore!
    Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken!
    Leave my loneliness unbroken!—quit the bust above my door!
    Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!"
    Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

    Very different birds. We have them both here as natural habitat. The crows can be big but the ravens are huge and unmistakable. You can hear the hiss of their wings as they fly and they don't "Caw" but instead chortle. The two don't co-mingle either.
