On Sunday I heard a loud ruckus of crows deeper into the woods at
Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller NHP. I headed towards them expecting to find an
owl or something. I was surprised to find at least 50, perhaps more, crows
calling loudly and jostling for position in a stand of American Beech that
was covered in nuts. They were eating the mast as fast as they could. They
seemed to gently grab the seeds from the husks on the trees. I had never
seen that before.
