Two weeks ago I left my night class at MCTC to walk to the bus stop at Nicollet, via Loring Green. I skirted Loring Park and looked up to see crows--hundreds of crows--sitting as silent as can be in the very tops of the trees in the Park. They looked like pepper. I felt like Tippy (Hedren).
Not the least obesiance made I; not a moment stopped or stayed I. As I walked up Loring Green I saw they were in the trees there too, across from the hotel. They perched in the very tops of the trees and every once in a while one would emit a menacing sound. "Grock," quoth the raven/crow (big enough to be ravens anyway) and I knew they were looking at me. All one of them had to do was say "Get her!" before they all swooped down and I would be dead meat. There had to be, no kidding, 300 crows above my head. I was petrified. Is there something about that particular area that crows love? Has anyone seen this crow behavior in the city before? It was new to me, and I didn't like it. And my soul from those shadows that were floating o'er the Lor' shall be lifted nevermore. I have to walk home that way again in a few minutes.
