CROWS.

[Aunt Angus]

So imstanding outside in my front yard. There are 50+ crows in the trees above my pasture.

What do they want? They're creating QUITE the ruckus. I know they sometimes prey on chicks, but this many might be an issue. My birds are fenced with heavy duty aviary netting over it, but GAWSH. It's cray-cray.

Trying to get a pic, but they're too high up in the trees for my sorry little phone (our trees are, like, 40+ feet tall).

If they are in a huge flock, they are probably migrating from winter area to summer area. I realize crows can winter in cold areas, but even birds that stay in cold areas during the winters, may move to slightly warmer areas or areas with more natural winter feed.

Lucky you! They are good at keeping hawks away.

They're chasing off the turkey vultures, presently. I like the turkey vultures. But if the hawks are also deterred, I say "murder" away, crows. Murder away.

 

[Aunt Angus]

So, the crows are still here, still making a ton of noise.

My son looks out the front door and says, "What's with the mass murder?"

There's an Owl in the tree trying to sleep so he can hunt tonight .
