The sky grew dark as they flew above me, and the sound of their wings and cawing was everywhere. It was an event I still experience in memory, though I don't know what happened to cause the flock such commotion. I remembered it again when I saw your photos and read your story.

But your comment makes me wonder if I should have taken the bird in for an autopsy. If this happens again that's what I should probably do.
