It is said to have been observed. when a crow has died, that a great number of crows will gather about the deceased crow, cawing loudly. Then, as if guided by an unseen conductor, they all fall silent and remain so for about one minute, after which they suddenly take wing and all fly away simultaneously.....not totally unlike our very own funeral tradition, is it?
This piece was done in response to the Frameworthy Challenge at Scrapbook Graphics, and is inspired by the work of Scott Nobles. It brought to mind the legend of the crow funeral, and I thought some of you might find it of interest. Thank you for looking!
I hadn't heard of it but love info like this so thanks :) Love your work on this too.
