Birds Without Words

A midwestern cherry orchard at dusk, autumn. Three crows pick at rotting fruit on the ground.

The largest crow spreads its wings, hitting the other crows. They each jump sideways, away from the largest crow. The largest crow returns to picking around the cherry pit.

A fourth crow descends from a nearby tree. The other three look up at her.

The largest crow tips its head sideways, in recognition.

THE END.
