The discussion in Richard Jordan's "Change of Seasons" prompted this. Thanks, Richard & Lisa.

I smiled reading this -- who hasn't seen this very character strutting his stuff around the neighborhood?

Often I think one of my dogs is going to open up and speak words.

It is at once both strange and yet familiar our relationship with other animals, isn't it?

I love a crow's swagger and sass, though it's equally entertaining to see them harried by a slender mockingbird.

And now I'm thinking of the Beefheart song "Ice Cream for Crow," and that wonderful beginning line:

"It's so hot, looks like you got three beaks, Crow."

And I've read this one, too. I wonder where. Maybe it was in a BAP.
