I've only heard about murders of people. Mainly near where I used to live, a real scuzzy part of town. Hold ups at the nearby 7-11 were fairly common occurrences, and one time it developed into a running gun battle with the cops when the robbers ran down our street and behind our apartment house. But it was daytime and I was at work. Although I might have seen a dead body on my recent trip to the SW and parts further east. Not sure, and I didn't stop to investigate -- too scary. I did try to find it in the paper later and couldn't. Bet you weren't expecting me to say that, were you? I had no idea of what the hell you were going to say.

Re: PESO - End Days
At the University of Washington there are a series of small Islands connected to each other and to the Lake Washington shore line by with narrow spits of land near the Museum of History and Industry. During the day it it is an interesting nature walk noted for it's fauna, and muddy trails. But I decided to explore it one night in the summer some years ago at 3:00 am. What I discovered as I wandered about was at night the islands were inhabited by hundreds of thousands of crows perched in the trees. The sound was very daunting, the rustling, the low murmuring (snoring?) of that many birds sitting from a few feet above your head to maybe 25 feet in the highest trees. As it got lighter, around 4:30 AM, the noise increased as the birds prepared to leave for the day to inhabit the entire area of Seattle. The lighter it got, the noisier. Eventually, flocks of 50 to 200 birds rose and circled overhead until they were organized, and headed off in a variety of compass points to find food. The entire taking flight and staging of these birds took almost an hour. The noise was incredible. By the time the light was good enough for photography with my PZ-1p and Velvia, there were no crows left. The shores of the islands were populated by then with ducks and geese who had been floating offshore all night. As the sun rose, a few smaller species moved in to inhabit the trees for the day. I shot a few rolls and went home to bed. Always after that night, whenever I observed large flocks of crows anywhere around the Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond areas in the early morning or late evening, it was apparent that they were headed to or from this overnight retreat. Were I to go back, I could probably get some great shots like yours if I brought a tripod. But I have too much trouble walking right now to venture into rough terrain in the dark for fear of falling and injuring myself in some manner. So it probably won't happen again. And now BACK to bed, after awakening at 2:50 am to turn off the lights and making the mistake of sitting down at the computer for a second. Damn!

Weren't around before, or not many, although we've always had black birds (which have a pretty song). But since last summer I've seen more and more in this area, in all of California actually. Concerns me a bit, because done some reading up, and they tend to drive other birds out. And evidentially about a year or two ago Japan got over run with them and they became a menace. So I keep wondering if that is going to happen here. I'll probably try again -- think they'll be around for a while, unfortunately.

You have seen all these murders personally or were they things you read about or saw in the media ? I've done alot of travel, been alot of places, lived in 3 distinct locations and have yet to witness a murder, not that I'm looking forward to it. Thats all. === Stop being cute. ;-) Murders of crows. I've only heard about murders of people. Mainly near where I used to live, a real scuzzy part of town. Hold ups at the nearby 7-11 were fairly common occurrences, and one time it developed into a running gun battle with the cops when the robbers ran down our street and behind our apartment house. But it was daytime and I was at work. Although I might have seen a dead body on my recent trip to the SW and parts further east. Not sure, and I didn't stop to investigate -- too scary. I did try to find it in the paper later and couldn't. Bet you weren't expecting me to say that, were you?

Part of the Paranioa series, Marnie? Kinda creepy. Yep. But if you had titled it Resting Doves it wouldn't be, don't you see? Nice BW. Congrats...

Re: PESO - End Days
Kinda cool. But it needs lots more birds for full effect, I think. I do like the silhouette and the monochrome presentation. -- Best regards, Bruce Monday, March 23, 2009, 7:04:16 PM, you wrote: Eac Taken today. Trite, but also actually sort of creepy.

Must be a flock of about 10-20 here. Weren't around before, or not many, although we've always had black birds (which have a pretty song). But since last summer I've seen more and more in this area, in all of California actually. Concerns me a bit, because done some reading up, and they tend to drive other birds out. And evidentially about a year or two ago Japan got over run with them and they became a menace. So I keep wondering if that is going to happen here. I'll probably try again -- think they'll be around for a while, unfortunately. Marnie :-( - Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. **Feeling the pinch at the grocery store?
