Tired old Crow

Or is it a raven? This fellow, enjoying a gushing fountain, had intelligent eyes that discerned the lack of threat from me and my children. It’s rare to see these highly intelligent birds come within camera range, and so I sensed that s/he must not have been far from his/her demise. This individual seemed to almost speak with eyes and posture evoking wisdom and age.

End of days
