They are, at times, annoying. Their 5 a.m. cawing often wakes us up in summer, when windows are open. And occasionally they tear open plastic garbage bags, littering the street with refuse...
But one Ottawa neighborhood, about 10 kilometers (7 miles) from ours, is apparently inundated with crows... and it is making the news... (One account estimates them at 20,000 - another at 100,000! I'm not sure how they arrive at those numbers, but - as both numbers suggest - there are a lot of crows!)
Thousands live in one neighborhood park, attracted by the park's tall trees... Here is a You Tube look at the sky as they return to roost at night!
(And, no - the crows haven't murdered anyone. "Murder"" is apparently the correct term for "flock" of crows... And the word does add drama to the situation!)
