Hi Tweeters

I was just visiting an interesting web site about crows. I was reading about a phenomenon that I had never heard of- a behavior in crows following the death of one of their own. It seems that this gentleman and perhaps many
others has seen crows circled around a dead crow, calling in unison, and then flying away all at once. Has anyone else ever witnessed a "crow funeral?" The site has an interesting description, and some great photographs. If
anyone is interested in checking it out, the address is
