Just wanted to forward a crow story from the commute today. Crows have
always seemed brazen and really adapted to human conditions, but today I was
surprised to watch a bird land atop a jeep that had just rolled to a stop at
a light, right in front of me. I guess it must have liked the clear plastic
cover over the back, because it hopped all about it, to the consternation of
the driver. When the light turned, it stayed for a second as the jeep moved
forward, but then flew as it was losing balance. Very funny! It reminded
me of another episode last spring, when I watched a group of 5 crows land on
some stacked bags of beauty bark at the Fred Meyer in Everett. Amazingly,
the birds jabbed and pierced open two bags with their bills--to what end I
have no idea, as they did not fly off with pieces.
