This blog began in 2010 as my personal journey to befriend the local Crows and learn more about their families and behavior.
Serendipity came into my life as I spent this time with the crows. I left behind the technology of today and became aware of the world around me. Now my goal is to teach others how to ramble through life free of technology. I want to help awake those focused on a small screen in their hands.
Why crows you ask? It all started in 2006 when I saved a baby crow from the cat across the street. We named her Ellie and she lived in our shed till she was big enough to get around. She won our hearts quickly with her play and love for us. Her parents never were far either. They knew they couldn’t help her once she fell out of the nest that day. The time came that another crow came and courted her. They were so cute and then she flew away.
Ever since I have been watching, documenting and photographing the local murders. This blog is now not just about them. Join me in opening your eyes to the real world around us.

Found your blog while searching for info on Longacres 🙂
Welcome!! Hope you enjoy all the history and bird stuff
A great initiative. I wish you good fortune. Thanks for visiting my blog, too.
I keep asking myself “why crows?”, but I guess the answer is “why not?”. They’re abundant, intelligent and really, very beautiful. Makes for a well focused blog, and gives your walks a purpose (always helpful, in my mind). It looks amazing, where you live, good habitat for all, I think? Thanks for dropping by yesterday.
The story really began when I saved a baby crow from a cat & we raised her. What a precious gift that was before she flew away. So, you could say I got the crow bug then. It just took me a few years to find the blog as a way to track my obseravations.
Hope you join the crow crazy crowd. Thanx r
I found your blog today. I can’t wait to see more. I caught the crow bug a few months ago when I got into the habit of walking my dog and watching crows fly all over my neighborhood. They are so cute and I love their little caws. I constantly annoy my sister with this little obsession, pointing them out when they fly by and cooing over how cute they are. Keep up the good work!
Thanx a bunch for the kind words. They are so smart and fascinating. Right now is Baby Crow time so there is lot to watch for.

Hello Batgurrl. We met you on the Green River Trail at the bridge near S. 180th street. Nice blog and we share your love of crows, and other bird and animals. The crows in our garden are smart enough to call out when the neighbor’s cat is in our yard so I can chase the cat away.
Keep up the great work and I hope to meet you on the trails sometime.
So glad we met. I got going the right direction on the trail cause of you two. Crows are special and so smart. Friend for life if you treat them right r
I love crows too. They are so intelligent. I’m so glad I found your blog. Have fun exploring. 🙂
Crows are fantastic as well as magpies and owls.

yes you can. What is the web address and which one? Then I can see my crow glory!! 🙂
THANK YOU!!
