Reply #38: I did wonder if there was more meaning to the birds than just

"lunchtime".

The last interesting thing I saw birdwise happened at the beginning of the month when a murder of ravens gathered in the tree next to my neighbor's house. They came straggling in by 2s, 3s, and 4s. And every time a new set came in ALL the birds would take it in turn to say something, almost as if they were introducing themselves, "Hello, my name is Marie and I just flew in with Arnie and Oswald from Penobscot." *l*

Ravens and crows are very smart birds. Ancient warriors feared them because they would follow their armies on days when battles were expected. They knew there was a big payoff for all their waiting around coming.
