I could hear the loud cawing of crows from a block away, as I took my morning walk on Sunday. Getting closer to the cacophony, I started seeing dark shapes in the air, circling in flight, then alighting on tree branches, and then flying again.
It was a large group or murder of crows, I believe taking part in a crow funeral. I have seen this phenomena before in front of my house, when I could see dead crow in the street. Then, a lot of crows started flying in circles near the fallen bird, cawing in full voice. It went on for about twenty minutes.
In the photos, most of the crows are in the large tree, with some sitting on top of the Italian Cypresses. Earlier, they had been circling.
