The Crow’s Weighty Mission

The image shows a black crow in a blue sky, carrying a large twig

Why is the crow
Carrying such a large twig?
It is not nest building time.

Maybe a strengthening rod,
To help hold the new chicks
In their cozy cradles?

Or a protection stick
To help ward off
The feral predators?

Whatever the reason,
His tenacious flight
Is a weighty mission!
