This spell summons a tiny spectral bird that keeps a lookout over the warded area. The creatures attempting to sneak through or into the area must beat the bird's Perception check with their Stealth check, or be noticed by the bird. If the bird detects an intruder, it chirps loudly to notify the caster. The bird has Perception check equal to the caster's caster level.
