I'm not saying the smoky air is trying to kill me, but what we have here is an attempted murder.

Bird Wings Good; Bat Wings Bad
Have you ever noticed that good religious creatures, like angels, have what can only be described as bird wings? Meanwhile, evil religious creatures, such as demons, have wings that are blatantly like that of a bat.
The only bad thing I can think of for a bat is that they can give rabies to humans whereas birds can’t. The reason they are so susceptible to rabies is because they are closer to humans than birds are. They are mammals, just like us. Whereas birds are part of the bird family of vertebrates. Birds are descended from the dinosaurs and have their own diseases to worry about.
Mammals survived the apocalypse that wiped out the dinosaurs (except birds) and basically took over almost all the niches that dinosaurs were in. Dinosaurs were tall so mammals became giraffes. Dinosaurs were big so mammals became the blue whale, the biggest creature that has ever lived. Dinosaurs could fly so bats took to the sky.
Bats nurse their young, thus proving they are a caring species of mammal.
Another thing which seemingly makes them bad is that they come out at night. But this is really more of a testament about how birds are evil in daylight. Bats don’t brave the day because they are likely to be dinner for some bird with 100 million years more of flying experience. And those daytime birds can be big with nasty talons and sharp beaks.
As a fellow mammal, we should be proud of our bat cousins. They can fly in the dark because they use sonar. They have good vocalizations that their good ears can pick up and that their good brains can use to figure out what the terrain is – even in the dark.
Still think birds are superior in the good/evil department? Then why is it a murder of crows, a conspiracy of ravens, a plague of grackles and a squabble of seagulls?
Actually a squabble isn’t that bad. So suddenly I see the truth. Bad is associated with black birds and bats because they are black.
This dark/ light thing of good and evil has got to go. Termites are white so they must be good. Maggots are white so they must be good. Polar bears are white so they must be good. It’s just not true. Black labs, black horses and even black cats can be very good.
Maybe I’ll retreat into fantasy which has some stories of good dragons who incidentally have giant black bat wings. It’s more realistic than the angel/ demon characterizations of religion.

"XXXIV.
There they stood, ranged along the hill-sides, met
To view the last of me, a living frame
For one more picture! in a sheet of flame
I saw them and I knew them all. And yet
Dauntless the slug-horn to my lips I set,
And blew."
Childe Roland to the Dark Tower came."
(RobertBrowning)

My favorite murder of crows queuing-up for their daily delivery of in-shell peanuts in my backyard this morning. I usually retreat, but today I stood nearby with my phone to get photos. They seemed wary of the phone, and mostly retreating themselves, sitting on limbs, wires and the fence nearby without eating till I turned around and headed for my office

No joke, this "vigor" bottle from Bioshock Infinite was just sitting there on this stump next to the bridge where I sat to eat my sandwich.
It's probably hand sanitizer. It might have unlocked a superpower, but I was too timid to chug it.

@Edmonds_Scanner I am currently trying to befriend every crow that I see. Crows are extremely intelligent and can remember the faces of different people for up to five years. Now, I'm not saying that I'm trying to befriend all the crows to create an evil army or anything. What I am saying though is that you never know when you might be in trouble and need an evil army of crows. #crows #murderofcrows #occult #nature #flyingawayfromthepolice

Today is also Crow and Raven Appreciation Day ! I definitely appreciate the corvids. They are so wonderfully clever. Raven is a trickster for a reason.
This is my Crow #linocut, along with ‘A murder of crows’ from my #termsOfVenery series and the raven and fireweed, official flora and fauna of the Yukon print.

@ravensong92 This may be too prosaic for you, but they might have thought they recognized your vehicle 😜 Too bad they didn't follow you all the way home, you could have sacrificed a sub and potentially gained a murder 😆 #MurderOfCrows #crows #corvids

Saw a murder of crows today. They were all after a single peanut. I wish I hadn't been driving so I could have gotten a photo. #MurderOfCrows
