I thought some would be interested in a report on WCLT radio today. I clipped this from their email version: "A neighborhood in Coshocton has been plagued by crows and their droppings this week. Residents along Mulberry Street say it looked like something from the Alfred Hitchcock classic The Birds after a nearby flag manufacturing plant started using a booming propane cannon to scare the thousands of crows off its property Friday night. Annin and Company officials say a bird group estimated as many as 25,000 crows were nesting on the plants site. One resident says now there are so many crows in her neighborhood the trees look black. A health official says a harsher winter may be drawing the crows to buildings and pavement that retain heat."
