It had been several weeks since any crows had shown up at the house. Pat was afraid her new friends had abandoned her. This particular morning, Terri drove up and parked in our driveway, and pandemonium broke loose. All you could hear was crows yelling and jabbering and carrying on in a most excited way. Pat ran to the window to see if these were “her crows.” Sure enough, the crow with the mangled foot was there, and this, indeed, was her group. However, the group had always been five crows before, but now there was a total of eight. The three extra crows were a little smaller and didn’t seem to be fully developed, so Pat figured they must be the new generation. Pat was happy to think that she had not been abandoned, but that her crow friends had been nesting and raising their young. The crows were just as excited about seeing Pat and Terri as the ladies had been about seeing them. It looks like we will be getting back to normal.
