I admire crows. Very intelligent birds. They can live almost as long as people. They are no nomads they live in the same area all life. Most probably they know local people better than local people know them.
I mean how can you separate them by their look? They all seem the same.
Ten years ago when I started to spend more time on my field among my vegetables I started to observe them because they were always around.
Among them I noticed one special crow - crow without a tail. Since then my focus was on this special crow which made me cry last year when she died. It was very cold winter day. I was on the walk with my dog and we found him death at the gates of my field.
Since then I noticed his partner flying around alone. Before they both were very often on the wire of power line above my field. Now she is there alone. So sad. She thinks about him and so do I.
This is my sketch of this special crow and his partner.
