Description
... passing, perhaps as ships in the night, unaware *
Ships That Pass in the Night
Paul Laurence Dunbar, 1872 - 1906
Out in the sky the great dark clouds are massing;
I look far out into the pregnant night,
Where I can hear a solemn booming gun
And catch the gleaming of a random light,
That tells me that the ship I seek is passing, passing.
My tearful eyes my soul’s deep hurt are glassing;
For I would hail and check that ship of ships.
I stretch my hands imploring, cry aloud,
My voice falls dead a foot from mine own lips,
And but its ghost doth reach that vessel, passing, passing.
O Earth, O Sky, O Ocean, both surpassing,
O heart of mine, O soul that dreads the dark!
Is there no hope for me? Is there no way
That I may sight and check that speeding bark
Which out of sight and sound is passing, passing?

He wasn't saying "Nevermore" was he? Oh, wait - that was a raven, wasn't it? :-D
Cool shot of this fellow, Kenn!

It wasn't distressed, nor demanding, except for the persistent "cawwwww" ... perhaps searching for others of it kind, and hiding underneath the oak shadows.

It may have been frustrated and fatigued by being constantly chased... smaller birds are mating and nesting at this time, and they are sometimes quite territorial, even toward much larger birds... interesting, to sit and have a chat with a crow :)
