A good portion of a
tree on our property came down during a thunderstorm several years ago. It happened to be the highest
tree on the property and the one used by crows as a roost.
One cannot imagine the treasure in that fallen
tree cavity. The knob to our lawnmower that kept the handle locked in place that we had looked for over two seasons, key, coins, fork,
seed package, tinsel, marbles, foil. Now, whenever something is missing outside, we run in the yard, look up and yell (with mouth covered of course) "drop it crows".
On a sad note crows are now few in our area as they are dying off from a bird disease. The same one killing blue jays. Bird info states crows keep an area clean of debris. Guess we'll find out first hand if that is true.
