Raven
Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling,
By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore,
"Though thy crest be shorn and shaven, thou," I said, "art sure no craven,
Ghastly grim and ancient Raven wandering from the Nightly shore,—
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
—Edgar Allan Poe

I saw a raven in the parking lot of Fred Meyers today, but I had no camera. Nice picture.
I heard this one before I saw it. A rather deep sort of "CROOAAAK." Luckily he'd perched in a tree visible from the trail. :^)
