Common Raven.
Muddy morn after a long stretch of rain. Maybe one or two small scraps of snow remain. Temps up to 50 degrees (F) or so. Little birds picking around in the lees of a fairly stout southeast wind—little birds other than three crows and a pair of ravens.
(I like crows a lot. I love ravens.)
