Few places - The country
is decidedly rolling with
small valleys & rather
low rounded hills and
small mountains. The
crows or rather ravens met
with on the road are exceedingly
tame evidently they are
never undeterred. You may
pass within 10 feet of them

apparently never casting

only for breeding as far as
we could see also birds.
