Throw Back Thursday (TBT) is on Friday today because of the short work week.

In the seven years since I started writing about Pittsburgh’s winter crows I can see that they’ve changed their ways.  No, they’re not less boisterous and gregarious.  No, they have not stopped gathering in huge roosts.  But they’ve made adjustments in where they roost and the flight paths they use to get there.  The huge flocks don’t fly over my house anymore.

Back in January 2008 the crows roosted at WQED and caused quite a stir which I addressed with my favorite poem called Crows by Doug Anderson.

p.s. I carry the Crows poem with me wherever I go.  I’m probably the only person you know who carries a poem about crows in her purse.  🙂
