Hi Tweets,

This morning my neighborhood AMERICAN CROWS were raising quite a fuss,
diving at people as they walked by, only the women it seemed. Anyway, my
neighbor walked out to her car and back and she was struck in the head
several times by one of them, she was afraid to cross the open ground to
her apartment so I ran interference for her; they ignored me but kept
attacking her. Also there was a crow hopping about near her door, we
wondered if it was a fledgling, but I couldn't tell.

The other interesting thing is my bird bath fills up with chunks of bread!
The crows apparently are bringing it in and leaving it in the bath only to
come back later and eat it. Between that and the dirty birds that bathe in
it I'm cleaning it every time I turn around, but the little beggars need
it when it's so hot.

Cheers,
