Birdwatching with Poe

two men are wandering (one in a wheelchair) through the city and over the downs. one is in a wheelchair, and carries binoculars and a notebook he writes in. the other is dressed in black 19th century morning suit, and has a black mustache and broad forehead. the happy looking guy with the binoculars points at a yellow bird in a hedge and says, "Goldfinch!" Poe says, "Raven." The first guy makes a note in his notebook as a bird flies overhead, and he says, "Purple martin!" Poe says, "Raven." The first guy looks up at a tree and says, "Bluejay!" Poe says "Raven." The first guy looks at a large black bird which is sitting on the grass watching them. the guy says "Raven!" Poe says, "crow."
