The story

from WikipediaRead it all ↗

On October 20, 1939, a lost pet crow belonging to farmer Ben Alberts from near Brooks, Alberta was shot dead by Isabel rancher J. H. Wortman, after having travelled 800 miles south. Identification of the pet was possible through his name tag. He became lost south because he tried to migrate south.

The now-abandoned Isabel Country School once existed in the area.
