Have the crows always been in my backyard or has the coming fall brought them to my door? Remember the murders of crows outside the school of design building at Iowa State - walking wide circles to stay out of their shadows - those poor art students fall dead on the sidewalks - exhausted, starving, or too much turpentine - the crows know where to wait.  Tomorrow is Halloween.
