My dreams of befriending the local crows [ tldr.nettime.org/@kdawson/1105 ] may be at an end.

This morning I heard the local murder gather in the trees out front. They were very loud. I might have said they sounded agitated, but what do I know from crowspeak? I went out with my baggie of roasted peanuts in the shell, held it aloft, placed half a dozen peanuts on the sidewalk, and made to withdrew.

That's when I noticed the very dead crow in the garden beside the front steps. (No photos, sorry, I'm not into ex-corvid porn.)

No one was interested in the peanuts. They kept yelling. After five minutes they headed out south and west.

Reading up on corvid death rituals was disheartening. [ joincake.com/blog/crow-funeral ] Crows recognize individual people. Now the murder associates me with their dead buddy, or rival, or whoever he was to them.

Spurred by a thread I found here months ago (no link, sorry, internesia), I'm trying to befriend my local crows. I carry a baggie of roasted peanuts in the shell when I walk the neighborhood. This morning the murder settled in my own trees and I went out, held the baggie aloft, placed six peanuts on the sidewalk, and withdrew. A crow eventually approached the treasure but backed off when he heard bluejays. This happened three times. Then one of the jays swooped and made off with a peanut to enjoy in the low branches; he took three in all. Then the squirrels came and absconded with the rest.

Today is also Crow and Raven Appreciation Day ! I definitely appreciate the corvids. They are so wonderfully clever. Raven is a trickster for a reason.

This is my Crow , along with ‘A murder of crows’ from my series and the raven and fireweed, official flora and fauna of the Yukon print.

@ravensong92 This may be too prosaic for you, but they might have thought they recognized your vehicle 😜 Too bad they didn't follow you all the way home, you could have sacrificed a sub and potentially gained a murder 😆
