Interesting! (Or: a bird’s memorial…)

I don’t know if you san see the fifty or more crows in the tree at the end of the block – trust me they are there and are not happy! I almost have pity for the cat, but not very much!!
So, I was watching all of the birds in my yard – the finches, sparrows, scrub jays and stellar’s jays. All of a sudden I saw the nuisance cat make a run for it and catch one of the jays!!
By the time I got outside the cat was in the neighbor’s yard. Then he ran down the stairs and up the block with the bird still flapping in his mouth.
Within less than twenty seconds there were crows and more crows flying in that direction making the loudest ruckus you can imagine! Over the next few minutes several more groups of crows flew in and they all sat in the tree that is in front of the yard where the cat ended up!
In the last several minutes they all flew away again. It was so interesting to see how the crows all banded together. (I hate to admit it, but I almost wish that they would have really gone after the cat!!)

Don’t know if you can tell, but this is the Seattle skyline! We’ve had a wonderful day seeking out lighthouses, flying fish, original starbucks. Lots of fun!

A perfect end to a beautiful day!

Slept late, Schafer meadows fiber festival, time with friends, then “Toast the Harbor” in OS! A full but fun and relaxing day.
