A Murder Of Crows


Did you know that a group of crows is called "a murder of crows"? Sounds pretty creepy (and slightly appropriate), doesn't it? Well, it's also the title of this great little documentary that I recently saw on The Nature of Things. (Apparently it's also the title of a cheesey-looking 90's movie.)  I've always been fascinated by crows - they're incredibly smart, and beautiful, but also have such a creepy reputation (you know, being harbingers of death and all).

Anyway, after watching this documentary I have a renewed appreciation for them. If you're interested in learning more about these fascinating birds you can take a look at the documentary here, if you're interested.

In other crow-related news... I've always had a thing for skulls (and birds) so I fell in love with this awesome necklace from Moon Raven Designs quite some time ago, and its now happily hangin' out around my neck...


And this concludes the Orinthology portion of the day :)
