Nancy,
Send all your extra crow to Texas. It seems they are the ONLY predator
to keep the monstrous flocks of Great(boat)tailed Grackles under control.

Hi All,
Has there been any talk of crows? I have read that their population is up
worldwide. It certainly is up in my neighborhood. I think they must be
laughing at me when I put in new seedlings, and I've taken to putting row
covers on all new plantings. They have replaced the jays and mocking birds.
The only ones they seem not to have chased away are hummingbirds.
