racket

an alternate shot from 7 years ago...every night crows congregate in the Still Creek region of East Vancouver, also crossing over into neighbouring city Burnaby...they offer a natural spectacle, and an unholy racket

Nikon D7000
Nikkor 18-200mm - 1/400s f/9.0 at 26.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large auto

That is a whole lot of crows! I can well imagine the noise.

Quite vocal but one of the smartest birds on the planet

The lines are a nice contrast to the chaotic birds. V

They look like the music notes in a cacophonous measure.

I can hear them from here. More Hitchcockian intrigue.

It’s a meeting place before bedtime David…a sight rarely seen in the countryside…maybe they still have wires in Stockholm…A great shot of the noisy neighbors…BV

When the electric wires are buried, the problem is solved... V.

They sure do cause a racket...

Wow, that is a lot. I can only imagine the noise!

And though the image is silent, you can almost hear it — that racket of caws and calls filling the air as thousands settle in for the night.....V

A busy neighbourhood

Great shot of this fascinating scene, and I can only imagine what they sound like.
