Mark Oberle pointed out to me that Laurelhurst is one of the four
sites of crows found with West Nile Virus this year in King County,
and he has not seen large flocks of crows at the arboretum recently.
It's only speculation that WNV might be causing a decline in local
crows, but it's something to keep in mind. The Christmas count totals
this year will be interesting.
