A Murder

Of crows, of course!

Most sources say that you need three or more crows to constitute a murder. One is just a crow, two is just an attempted murder.

One source said you need at least four, since three is obviously just a CROWd…

Cheese it! The cops! Or, at least, that weird guy with the camera.

By any definition, we had enough. There were at least eighteen in the tree, plus another ten to fifteen soaring and circling above.

That tree is normally where the local Great Horned Owls hang out. This was just after sunset, so it’s not unlikely that there’s a connection. I’m sure those owls think that crows are good eatin’. If I’m a crow in the owls’ tree and they want it, I’ll find someplace else to perch!
