This morning I was woken by a cacophony of crows. It’s not so much of a murder as it is a conference. Several trees behind my house are full of them and they are all talking. I counted at least 36 in one (yes, as Neil said, I was actually counting crows). Do you think they knew that last night I made a tiny drawing about crows? Sunnyvale, California is having some crow trouble. The town plans on using lasers (pointed at trees to give the illusion that animals are in the them) to try to encourage to birds to move along.
