Mr. Musa’s Arrival – My Time at Portia - Raven – Ep.43
The next stage of the Portia storyline begins, with the arrival of a famous stranger:
Australian Birds: The Blue-Eyed Raven (Corvus coronoides??)
I saw this guy down by the lake - and, yes, it could just as easily be a girl, but I don't know how to tell, so live with it. What struck me was the colour of its eyes. It really does have blue eyes, a startling, surprising blue. Check it out. And throat feathers that remind me of a beard, when he checks out the sky. Although the effect disappears when it turns its head. After taking a good, long look at me and deciding I was no threat, this not-so-little guy continued hunting for whatever it was that had taken his fancy earlier. But I wonder if it's the same bird. All the descriptions I've seen of Corvus coronoides have it with white eyes. Why does this one have eyes so clearly blue?
