Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Day 301: Murder of Crows

My earlier-than-usual bike commutes at the end of the week, both in the clear and in the fog, were highlighted at the end by a murder of crows swarming in the skies north of the Capital, centered mostly around 13th Street, all the way from L to I Streets. The cawing black birds crowded into the trees near the Sheraton Hotel, the nearby parking garage, and the CPCA office building, looking something like this:

I actually rather enjoyed having these avian companions at the end of my journey, although I was a bit concerned about the potential debris falling from the sky. At first, I thought perhaps the sound was dripping water from the trees, but then I realized it was likely some other sort of liquid falling from above... yuck!
