Crow�

2002-05-08

There's been this crow for the last couple of days hopping along on one foot near where I get on the freeway every day. I felt for it and wondered what happened to it's foot. Once I had a pigeon hobbling around outside of my shop, monofilament line tangled tightly around it's foot. It was obvious it would lose the foot in short order. I managed, with much less trouble than I would have imagined, to chase it into my shop, catch it and remove the line.

Today the crowed seemed better. It was actually using the injured foot. It made me smile to think it would recover instead of lose it's foot. Then I was sad, thinking of Grouse�s entry. It might not survive the year anyway.
