After all the discussion about crows and West Nile, I started looking for
the mob that used to haunt my neighborhood. I knew some were still around
becuase I could hear them, but I saw the first one in three or four months
yesterday. WE were overloaded with them, so while I'm glad some survived,
I'm glad the group is thinned. Too bad West Nile didn't strike pigeons.

Yeah! I love crows--so clever, swift flyers, harsh laughers.

In Czech they have 3 names for large, black birds: crow= vrana or havran,
raven= krkavec.
