There was a murder here this morning!

Right in my front yard, next to the road.

Half a dozen crows.

A Murder (not titled as a flock) of crows have attacked my yard. Those “bastids” go after June Bug Larvae underground. When the Bugs do their mass emergence in Summer they leave big fat juicy larvae about 6” underground. Now for about 4-5 months those Son’s of Beeatches have plowed my yard up like wild boars. If I could post pix, you would not believe the damage. Hundreds of 6-7 inch deep holes averaging 6-7 inch diameter in size. Now with rain the erosion in my mountain slopes, has caused massive damage.
The crows are so smart and call in the masses for the Buffett, they fly away before you see them, and they track your schedule to never be seen.
Google Crows and June Bug Larvae.
Not a fan of those birds.
