2 Crows – More Than Meets The Eye

2 Crows have hung out in my yard for as long as I can remember. I’m not a big fan of their “kaw, kaw” it’s kinda like fingers on a blackboard to my ears.  I thought they were just in the yard for the free plums & pears.  Turns out I was wrong….

The morning after Denise ‘D Dog passed I was sitting, catatonic, on the back step.  The 2 crows flew down the hill, side by side, in formation. They landed simultaneously about 12 feet from me and about eye level with me. Then they made a noise I had never heard before nor since. It was a lower pitched, gutteral clicking sound. I knew in an instant that they knew Miss Denise was gone and that they were expressing themselves.

They haven’t been back. The plums and pears are ripe and ready, but the crows aren’t here.  Turns out, they weren’t snicky snacking…they were Denise’s friends.
