It would stop as suddenly as it started. <BR/><BR/>Down here we don't see crows, but 3 vultures flew overhead while we were sitting at the patio table... probably trolling for roadkill squirrels. <BR/><BR/>Annie at the Transplantable RoseAnnie in Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14662139490401110432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-17633675689236851022007-12-05T10:32:00.000-06:002007-12-05T10:32:00.000-06:00It possibly was more than one murder. For whateve...It possibly was more than one murder. For whatever reason, sometimes murders gather in the same proximity and caw at each other, or at least that appears to be what's going on, who really knows. The sessions I've seen (and heard!) lasted about half-an-hour or so, and usually happened about the same time every mid-afternoon.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen more than two murders do this, but fifty or so crows together is a lot.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14159925934303299872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-84884129120300742342007-12-04T08:33:00.000-06:002007-12-04T08:33:00.000-06:00Tom, it was so odd - I'd never noticed crows in gr...Tom, it was so odd - I'd never noticed crows in groups that large here before.
