MATTER OF A PINION
During a hike with my friend, I noticed a black bird roosting in a nearby tree. "I've always wondered what the difference a crow and a raven," I said
"You have to count the pinion feathers on the wings," my companion explained. "If there are four, it's a crow. If it is five, its a raven."
Really? I said, although I knew he didn't have a clue what he was talking about.
"Oh yes,"he replied, "it's just a matter of a pinion."
