I love all of this. I just got back from a few days away, where I drew unfamiliar crows in their unfamiliar tree. When I texted a birder friend to ask about the crows' funny accents, I learned that the birds were an entire species I'd never even heard of: fish crows, Corvus ossifragus—"bonebreakers." Magic on magic on magic. 🖤

These are great! You might find further inspiration from the crow-centric https://urbannature.blog/. Wonderful photos and observations by June Hunter, a U.K. ex-pat living in Vancouver.
