When I arrived home from town on Thursday, I heard whales blowing off the beach, so I dropped my pack at the cabin door and went down to our “veranda” to see them. As I walked to the edge of the beach, I noticed a crow sitting on the planks that serve as walkways to the beach rocks. It sat calmly looking out toward the water, and hardly looked around as I came up beside it.
