Odin's Caw

Odin’s Caw are agreeable and intelligent creatures, allegedly descendents of Odin’s raven companions.

At first I was unsure as to whether this was a Caw or just a local raven. He looked like any other raven except for a white mark above the right eye. But as I started to sketch, he adjusted on his branch as if posing for me. When I rose to leave, he lighted on my shoulder for the remainder of my walk out of the wood. I’m going back with elderberry tomorrow.
