Crow Nesting Season
It looks like crow nesting season has been going on for at least a month now though I’m happy to say I didn’t notice it. Much as I am very fond of crows and all of their corvid cousins, I have also had the misfortune of having a favorite route that crosses into the comfort zone proximity of their nests. And in many of those instances I’ve been glad to have been wearing a hat. (For when they swoop down and try to peck, not any other form of attack! Clear that filth from your mind!)
Anyway I was coming back from Starbucks having done one of my “commutes” to my office when I heard a bunch of crows going berserk. At first I thought they were mobbing something until I saw a mostly grown fledgeling looking up plaintively. The always say you shouldn’t help young birds when you see them like this due to abandonment issues and such. But this time it was so tempting. Besides… from the noise overhead it was clearly not abandoned.
