Crows everywhere, and Sunnyvale’s going to do something about it

WHAT

Deterrance, not culling. But why the hell do you think crows are something that needs doing about? Lay off my corvid buddies! Yeah, the racket they make at dusk in downtown is pretty loud. I think it's super cool seeing these giant flocks of crows fill the trees and trade the day's news. But you know what? Then they mostly go to sleep after a little while. You can put up with it for like 30 minutes a day, humans, GEEZ.

I'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.

* BE AMAZED as arethinn daringly nouns adjectives!

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