We have birding threads. We have weather threads. I have commented on both types regarding birds & weather.

I have witnessed bird migrations that were spellbinding and I hope to see another soon. We have a storm coming in. Usually, at this time of year it would be a wicked snowstorm and the crows would be long gone BUT they are still here. Unfortunately, the next storm will not bring rain, high winds and 12C temps as this one is forecast to do.

I know this because the crows are massing. There are hundreds of crows in my pines. I expect there will be a thousand crows in my front yard and the same in my back yard view by dark. And, I live in the city. Not a lot of trees. Many will perch on the apartment building rooves out back.

My camera is ready. The camcorder battery is on charge. I got amazing video a few years ago of the spring migration. I missed a fall migration a couple of years ago as I was spellbound and didn't even think of the camcorder to record what I saw by chance.

As I type, I glance out my office window and see more swoop in and land in my pines. Unless you are a birder or some such, you have no idea of the thrill I am experiencing.

Jaysus! There are well over a thousand in view from my office window but the onset darkness makes recording useless... winter is nigh... the crows don't lie.

I hope I get video in the morning... seriously, this is like "a kid at Xmas stuff" for me!

Holy moly! About 40 just lit on the power and telephone wires leading to my house. I think I gotta pee! Hehehehee. Gosh I hope I can get pics and vids in the morn.
