That is such an eerie sight in the evening. I used to see it more often when I lived in an urban area. Thank you for sharing 🎅

Happy Wednesday morning Jeff Dowler, CRS

It is interesting when birds gather.  I always wonder what they are discussing. Crows and ravens fascinate me, they are very intelligent creatures.  They also learn human faces and remember how they are treated.  And, you're right, they can be noisy little buggers.  We also had a lovely orange sunset last night, sans the crows. I didn't get it until the tail end, unfortunately.  It's not as dramatic as your shot.

Jeff,

We have murders of crows here too, and they really carry one with the squawking!  I love watching a group of them chase after hawks during the nesting season, those hawks do not have a chance.  A

That's a great picture, Jeff, although a bit Hitchcock-ish!

Wow Jeff, I did not know you have that many crows in your area.  I would think lots of seagaulls

Hi Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS  - we see them every evening although they seem to have different patterns of flying and where they gather. They make quite the ruckus.

Hi Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD  Great shot! You have more trees to peak through than we do.

The crows really are fascinating and there seem to be more and more of them. No doubt someone has studied crow behavior - would be an interesting read!

Yes, it is beautiful and yes, it is sad that a lot of the color comes from the smoke.

Hello Jeff - your photo has a rather ominous feel to it with the the crows against(and in) the trees.  Haunting is the word that first came to mind but I am sure many others will come as I stare at it a bit longer.

Hi Jeff Dowler, CRS - What a gorgeous sunset but as you said a sorry reminder of the Bond Fire.  My brother lives in Trabuco Canyon so they are pretty worried.

You're right, they really do enjoy taking after the hawks. And noisy? Indeed.

Lottie Kendall  - I think of Hitchcock's movie often when I see all the crows!

Hi Sharon Lee  I have some other videos but didn't take one that night.  I should have - they were REALLY noisy, and some of the neighbors were out in the street watching!

Hi Jeff- that is fascinating!!!!   You're right, the sunset is stunning but it's a bit sad because of the reason for its beauty.

Hi Will Hamm 

Oh, there are plenty of seagulls, but they stick close to the beach. I am about 4 miles inland. There are far more crows than seagulls!
