Oct. 18th, 2011 05:53 pmI've heard of the dawn chorus, but the crow population of De Anza College - or at least that part which occupies certain trees near the corner of this building - seems to have taken up doing a dusk chorus raucous.* ruckus.**
(I was about to say "you could almost set your watch by..." until I realized that it wasn't the fact that it was 6 PM, because a few weeks ago this was happening at 6:30 PM. It's that the sun is setting. Dur-hay.)
It's kinda neat.

arethinn daringly nouns adjectives!
** edit: Duh. There was already a suitable noun. And "dusk ruckus" is assonant and sounds cool.
