A murder of crows, always a big one in spring and fall by the old central terminal

that reminds me of a Stephen King miniseries movie quite a few years ago - "The Stand"   But def a scene from an apocolypse movie..

Correction...Those are not crows, they are grackles....I believe they are the boat tailed variety, which is slightly larger and has a longer tail than our local common grackles...

Well smack my azz and call me Sally.   They are boat tailed grackles indeed.

They probably taste the same as a crow

I remember the first time my ship pulled into the Navy  base at Mayport Florida....Rather  than common crows, they had fish crows, which are somewhat smaller than common crows..They also had boat tailed grackles, which are larger than our local common grackles ( called purple grackles back then)….

I made the comment to one of my buddies that down there they had grackles the size of crows, and crows the size of grackles...<<grin>>...

Never ate one, Jay....I HAVE  eaten crow many times, but it was figuratively  rather than literally....Hehehe...

I haven't seen any yet this spring here in Dogpatch, but they are due anytime...I suspect they'll show up next week with the warming trend that is predicted, along with some redwings and perhaps some cowbirds..

Reminds me of the good old days at camp with Dad and great friends.. when we would run to town for a few groceries, Dad had a thing for bologna, so when we were finished shopping he'd break out the bologna and start eating it before we left the parking lot. He would also start feeding the seagulls, and as the seagulls began gathering around.. He would start flinging them on top of peoples car hoods and car tops. I know, it wasn't right, but Man it was absolutely hilarious watching them scavengers dive bomb peoples cars.. 

Sorry Brings back a memory of my at times childish old man..

That video would make Alfred Hitchcock proud.
