Weather, tides, yes! They can be very... turbulent.

I have to ask is the raven yours?

They are crows, actually! American Crows. A bit smaller than the Common Raven.

And yes they are mine! As in my friends. They are wild. First one is Junior, second one is her husband Lod, and third and fourth are Junior's brother Biggie. They come to my window throughout the day and greet me when I go outdoors. I also feed them scrambled eggs on the roof of my car and make them famous.

You are an amazing soul!
