It’s an omen of good fortune and a warning of danger. Covered their bases there, eh!

Wikipedia:

“In anishinaabemowin, or the Ojibwe language, the bird is known as gwiingwiishi. “... the whisky jack is revered by indigenous peoples as an omen of good fortune and a warning of danger.”

... and a warning of danger...

I recall the gull that landed on the chimney that is watched in Vatican City when a pope’s selection is underway. When it happened, I took it as a sign that the Pope would choose the name Francis. Didn’t figure it would be a commie, though.

Camp-robber, trying to move the ceremony along to the part where people throw rice or birdseed. Would have made for some good action shots if a chipmunk had run up her leg.
