Black bird visits Health Department

This image of a black-beaked crow was captured by Mobile County Health Department graphic artist and photographer James Currie, through the office window of colleague Sheila St. Onge. They said the animal appeared to be resting its wings for a moment on the historic balcony in downtown Mobile. 

After the crow surveyed the courtyard and the aging wrought iron, Sheila and James said the bird sailed away as quickly as it arrived.  One can only imagine, James said, that it flew back to join Nic Cage on the set of the movie Tokarev that has been filming in and around downtown Mobile.
