To taxidermist’s for crow. Mine he had fixed in a “cawing” position—wings lightly spread, mouth open. He had some other crows there that had been ordered and never called for. I bought two more—one sitting,—,& one with wings fully spread.
Take them to studio—they look fine there and add an atmosphere that I love. The cat, which was by the fire, was terror-stricken at the sight of the birds
