![Panel 1: Most of the panel is a close-up on a handmade, very careworn field guide to birds, open to the page on the Common Raven. There is a sketch of a raven's head and one of its silhouette in flight, and the notes and descriptions are all written in a neat script. A black feather and small skeleton key are tucked into the binding on the next page. In the background, we see an out-of-focus bird peeking its head just above the top of the book.
Panel 2: The book lowers and the camera rack-focuses on Eshmel in bird form, sitting atop the Pale Raven's Perch, backlit with a sparkling heavenly glow, looking particularly round, derpy, and un-raven-like. There is a sign above their dish that says, "PALE RAVEN / perspective shifts start at 5 seeds"
The text in the field guide reads as follows:
[Page 1] "Common Raven: Distinguishable from other corvids by rasping, throaty vocalizations, tail shape, and "beard" of throat feathers beneath beak. Significantly larger than its nearest relatives; sexes similar in size. Typically all-black iridescent plumage, though leucistic and piebald individuals do make rare appearances."
Illustration captions note "wedge tail," "throat ruff," and "approx. 115cm wingspan (based on shed wing feathers)."
[Page 2 is mostly cropped and covered by the feather; unseen portions are abridged or summarized.] "Observations: Wide variety of vocalizations [...] present year-round [in temperate regions, not found] in tropics or areas [...] [no consistent] migration patterns. Bonded pairs mate for life, [building nests annually of 3-5] chicks on average. [Young ravens depart by their third month.] Earned reputation for cleverness, [author recounts encounters with familiar ravens who gave him trinkets.] Highly omnivorous, [appear to prefer] carrion and human refuse. Mates often fly together [...] Ravens are playful aerialists, [even harassing] wyverns in flight with [little fear.]"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:htogemxiiopihcc4qgmiwkaf/bafkreibacqg7e4zsd4enlkkbpxten62lc557sd4a4o3gvqdkkerujufyjy)
