First of all it, and some of its friends, clomp around on the roof, sounding like clumsy workmen. Then this raven goes and drinks from the bird bath, stands on the wall to snack on what's left of last year's hollyhock seeds (slim pickings there - I planted them all - with absolutely no success, so far as I can see), and then heavily took off. I love the intelligence of ravens - if you don't know Bernd Heinrich's Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds, you should - but this one was quite preternaturally huge and spooky.
