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."
