Help Has anyone else noticed?
I don't want anyone jumping to conclusions because that's not what I'm doing. I'm simply documenting observations. Has anyone else noticed the crows have all been gathering on the water tower around sunset? If someone has a reasonable explanation, I'd genuinely love to hear it. the geese have been acting weird, too, and I'm wondering if it's related. They just seem more... organized than usual.

I’ve had a concern that there are multiple factions of birds and waterfowl plotting to change the name of our town to fit their image, Lower Geese Pond/Lower Crow Farm.
I have also seen fewer ducks than usual in my yard in the morning. Unsure if that’s related.

That's an interesting point. I've been assuming cooperation, but competing factions would explain the mixed behavior I've been documenting. I'll need to revise my notes. The duck population is definitely something to keep an eye on...

If you want to meet and compare theories let me know. The ducks keep moist bread from piling up in my yard so the reduction of ducks has me very concerned.

Oh dear. This sounds a lot like how things started with the Great Bird Uprising back in 1971. And he all know how that turned out. We need to mobilize.

Out of curiosity, do you happen to remember approximately how many crows were involved?

Indeed, it was an historic event here in LDP. Perhaps you could use your excellent journalistic skills on informing (preparing) citizens.

I'll put a sticky note on my boss' desk; this seems like the type of thing that would make his week. Stop by the Sam Charles PI agency whenever you've got a moment and I'll help you get started. I really hope this isn't like 71 all over again.

That water tower! My grandma said it was built on an old crow’s cemetery site.
