A visitation of crows




They arrive in swarms every November and sweep through a neighborhood as if they owned it, for this was their territory long before people came and built houses. And just as you begin to feel uneasy, remembering the Hitchcock movie, whoosh, they're gone.

I've seen them swarm at dusk into the trees along the North side of RT 347 near/around Mark Tree/Bellemeade area.

Sometimes they can turn the sky black there are so many of them.

Yes, I've seen them there, too. The pictures were taken in the "S" section, not far from there.

One wonders how they can get enough to eat.

you can have all the crows! They wake us up in the summer screaming at each other.
