It had never occurred to me that the crow world could be so entertaining. There is a new story almost every day. So many of the happenings center around my wife, Pat, that I am afraid she might become known as “the crazy old crow woman.” Here is another case in point.

The other morning, Pat went to the bank. It’s a neighborhood bank, only about a block and a half from home (as the crow flies.) As she walked from her car in the parking lot to the entrance to the bank, a crow swooped down and began flying circles above her head, squawking loudly. She waved at it and yelled, “Do I know you? Are you one of my guests?” I hope no one witnessed this.
