The Crow is probably the most recognized bird in America.  Highly intelligent, this bird is a force with which to be dealt.  The frog  often makes a nice meal for a crow.  Could it be that this frog has the upper hand in this scene?  Both the frog and the crow were carved from one piece of tupelo wood.  The base is a piece of white pine.  Into it, a relief carving depicts edge of a stream or pond.  A closer look reveals the print of a bear paw in the sand.  Many of  Nature’s great forces come together in this piece, telling a story in which the observer can draw his own conclusion.
