Crow Families & the Mega Roost
Crow Families & the Mega Roost
I was born many years ago in a cedar tree nest. My family owned a wonderful home and the surrounding area. Plenty of food, places to play and watch for the bad guys. That was our home territory.
When I got older my parents passed down to us the cedar grove. We raised our family there and kept the place safe for our extended murder.
Now I am grandma crow and my favorite time is how we all fly to…

Crow Talk
This week the crow roost in Renton continued to grow in size. Plus when I arrive to the parking lot when it is barely dawn, I get to see them fly off towards their home territories.
I was rewarded one morning with a parade overhead of the murder who live east on the hill behind Valley General Hospital. There was many of them flying in small family units and talking to each other.
Now when I said…

Tragedy at dusk in the Roost
Tragedy at dusk in the Roost
This last week has been crow crazy around my office building at dusk. Hundreds of birds flying around, perched in trees, playing tag and making a general racket. I have written many times about the Renton Roost and the thousands of black feathered souls that come to this part of the valley for their evening get together. On Thursday, I decided I had to get up and move around. I had done some…

Crow Dusk Buzz In
Crow Dusk Buzz In
Dusk means it is time to go home from work. I usually pack up around 5:30 performing the ritual of lights out and security code on. This week the Crows were going home to roost at the same time as I. There I was on the second floor, turned the lights out and took this little video of their flying, hanging out in the trees and getting ready for bed. Tis a crow buzz in!!…

Here are several of my articles – Murder comes to Roost and Mega Renton Crow Roost Crow Ornaments in Renton Trees I have to admit I still have more questions than answers even after all these years. To watch them arrive around our building in…

Crow Collision
Yesterday when we went to leave the office I am sad to report a poor crow soul was found laying in a parking spot. Crow lays in parking spot It had grown completely dark and the usual murder that flocked around our building had been gone for about a half hour. I have to assume this happened right at dusk because one of my co-workers was parked in that spot until about an hour earlier. Blunt…

The Roost is ON
The Roost is ON
Drive home at dusk or to work in the dawn hours and looking to the sky a cloud of black bodies rush by. What is that? Is it a flashback to a childhood fear of an Alfred Hitchcock movie? Is it a macabre beginning to Halloween and the Day of the Dead? No… this is nature’s crow community annual winter gathering. What you say? Crow’s have community? They consciously party like we humans? They have a…

Trio of Crow Pairs
Trio of Crow Pairs
Seahurst Park in Burien, Washington has a resident Crow flock. My adventure today took me to this park on Puget Sound. They have made a grove of trees where South Creek meets the sound their roost and I find a few of them there every visit. Looking up into that tree I spotted three crow couples noodling and hanging out close together. Doubt if they know it is Valentines Day but they make a…
