Not quite a crow, but it worked for telling the man... though she couldn't recall the finite details of the bird-race in question, but they were certainly a grounded race... she'd find out when she found the creature in question.  Prints were quite easy to follow, luckily.  Double back, and then the stream... a tracker's worst nightmare.<br/><br/>"Shit..." she swore softly "Lost it... stupid stream..."<br/><br/>Though there were tracks heading back, that would likely take her back to the farmer's place, so that was useless.  Wading out into the stream (thank god for waterproof boots that went up to her thigh), she checked the other shore for new tracks, and if need be would check downstream on both shores, then upstream just the same.  Needed to regain that trail, otherwise she may end up losing her bet...<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Perception, to find new tracks of the same sort on the opposite shore to regain the trail: 6 + 17 = 23<br/><br/>Would that also allow her to in general scour the area in general as well </div></div>
