their nest; feeding calls, when food-an
animal carcass or source of grain-is available;
and distress calls, when an attack by
a predator or a member of an opposing
flock occurs. While telling me about these
calls, Steve recounted an incident when
he and a friend were crow hunting in a
fresh-cut cornfield near Lake James.
" There was a flock of crows that flew
over. We shot, and I killed one, but my
friend hit one and winged it pretty bad.
It spiraled down like a maple seed. It gave
a distress call, and the other crows that
had flown away when we began shooting
turned and came back and started flying
around the wounded crow. It was enlightening
to me to see how protective crows
were of each other. "
I believe this occurrence gave Steve a
deeper respect for crows.
We no longer raise a garden. Today
my connection with crows is amicable.
At daybreak, they fly through the sky and
perch in the treetops. Sometimes I hear
their caw! caw! caw! before I see them. I
stand at my kitchen window and watch
them as they settle on the grassy knoll
across the road from my house. Here
they eat scraps I've thrown out-beans,
cornbread muffins, oatmeal-my family's
leftovers from the evening before or from
that morning's breakfast.
My daughter Annie teases me about
feeding the crows, calling me " The Crow
Lady. "
I tell her, " They're my crow friends, "
and I find myself waiting for their arrival
each day. But the crows are still wary of
me. I've wanted to take pictures of them
from my front porch, yet they've flown
as soon as they saw the front door open.
And when I've attempted to take a picture
from my kitchen window and accidentally
tapped the glass with my camera
