The black-winged bird I had seen earlier began to call.

A black-winged bird, with eyes of glowing red, blazing points of fire set in a feathered skull, planed down straight for them, uttering a piercing cry.

Scarlet Tanager A black-winged red bird, it is a northern representative of a large and colorful tropical family.

It was like an immense, black-winged bird.

Dark against it there wheeled and flew many black-winged birds.

Moichi nodded, murmuring his farewells, and, with Chiisai went out from the edge of the copse, across the sun-splashed plaza, past the rustling olive trees, the buzzing cicadas, the small black-winged birds flitting from tree to tree, leaving the figure of the fountain behind.

An enormous black-winged bird paused in its stow, awkward flight, tilted its head consideringly, circled the grove.
