Media notes

I saw this crow on the ground and thought it was dead, but it wasn't. His wing was in an odd position stuck on his head cutting of some circulation to his head but still alive, but woozy. My guess is he was in a fight with some other bird and this happened. He was very calm and friendly, and thankfully I was able to free his wing, and he was in shock, and never flew. But he let me hold him with no struggle, and is still resting on the edge of the woods. I hope he survives, because if he does he will remember me as the one that freed him! (His name is Corvus, as scientific name).
