These amazing birds are typically linked with death or can be seen as an ominous symbol. They are strong, patient, and do a job that is essential, but less than appealing. Their patience and resourcefulness must be noted. They also remind us to take our time and use all our senses before diving in. Don't let Ichabod's grumpy face fool you. He is taking it all in and thinking it though, he is quite a friendly fellow when you get to know him!
