Summary: Radagast loves birds

Radagast tossed a blackberry into the air, laughing with delight as the bird deftly caught it, acknowledging the nicety with bow. Remarkable creatures were crows, hardy and clever, though these of Dunland were especially so. They roamed the local offal heaps in gangs and flew in flocks several hundred strong through even rain and sleet. With sight almost keen as an eagle, high intelligence, and the ability to recognize and distinguish human faces and voices, they were perfect for the task at hand.

“Gather your flock and fly with all speed to Isengard. Saruman the White has need of you.”

Ooh, nice moment to pick for these prompts. Crebain are intriguing creatures, as is Radagast (and Istari in general). I like the detail about recognizing different human faces and voices.

Thanks huinare, I appreciate your comments. I was reading that crows can recognize individual humans and thought that was fascinating. I'm kind of an unofficial bird watcher. And Radagast is a character with a lot of interesting possibilities.
