Genesis 8:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ and released a raven to see if the waters had completely dried up. It flew back and forth until the waters upon the earth dried up. ⁸ Noah then released a dove, to see if the waters had drained from the surface of the earth, ⁹ but the dove, not finding any place to land, returned to the ark (for the waters still covered the surface of the earth). He reached out and caught the dove and brought it back into the ark.
