Thanks for reading!
Interesting to hear that...Teri,<br />Thanks for reading!<br />Interesting to hear that you have ravens as well as crows, I'll bet they would be noisy, with all the different vocalizations they make between one another!<br /><br />I learned in my reading that people tend to feel either a reverence, and awe for crows; or a definite dislike for them possibly due to their foraging in crops and gardens, or garbage in cities; or their noisiness.<br /><br />For some reason I've always just loved them from my childhood.<br /><br />Thanks for your kind comment!<br />brendaMullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153284283330600337.post-46437228662751223652011-09-25T17:54:17.660-07:002011-09-25T17:54:17.660-07:00Wonderful and informative post Brenda.

Then perhaps crows would have a more natural way of living, and people won't come across some of the threatening behaviors crows seem to have in cities such as begging for food, etc. <br />BrendaMullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153284283330600337.post-84426560116581400942011-09-25T10:03:59.538-07:002011-09-25T10:03:59.538-07:00this is a lot of information about crows and raven...this is a lot of information about crows and ravens. I'm not a fan of crows (they kind of scare me actually!) but I was fascinated by the ravens we saw up in the Yukon when we lived there. they were enormous! not the Prairie size I was familiar with. I guess it's all the eating they do. and very tame, sat on people's pickup trucks and just stayed there, even when people came very close.Geraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153284283330600337.post-77805459745450161732011-09-25T09:40:28.539-07:002011-09-25T09:40:28.539-07:00Hi, Ann,

Just now, my windows are open, and I'm enjoying the sounds of crows calling.<br />Wishing you a great week,<br />BrendaMullin Avenue Workshophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09489785153205822301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153284283330600337.post-24430477667319438902011-09-25T07:09:21.740-07:002011-09-25T07:09:21.740-07:00Brenda, how interesting this is....

Your informative post took me back in time to the little beach near where my parents used to live. There was a small forest of pine trees that were populated by a large group of crows. It was always a delight to sit by the water and listen to them "talking" to each other (probably about us!). The different sounds they made against the quiet of the beach is something I will always remember. AnnThe Boston Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16211110867604264641noreply@blogger.com
