Once a year a Murder of Crows visits my home. The night sky begins to fill with dark shapes and haunting cries or the Crows delight. Each day they are join by more and more until the sky is black with the birds in flight. They come into roost at sunset; they leave at sunrise - having no fear of man of beast. Then one day silence. They crows are gone. Another year will pass before the murder returns.
Murder of crows is the collective noun for a group of crows

An eerie feel to this one. Could be used as a book cover photo for a horror story. Great work.

Bob, you always have such amazing light in your work. Even with the dark tones, the birds are surrounded by the light of the sky. This event must be something to see as is your photograph. Excellent work!! Crows are very smart and are one of the birds that can learn to talk as are Ravens. Definite f/v :).

Crows are near and dear to me. I love the image here and I have walked among many a crow. They fly in and out of any reality they choose. Somewhat like artists. At any rate, this thrilled me to see this wonderful image and the beauty of light and shadow. V/F

The title may be a mystery for me. I am saying it for in this bird migration there are many chasers in my country that profit their travelling for murder the birds just for having sport you know. I find this bursto of crows just starling and awesome. What where the camera´s parameters for having such a still and sharpeness on the whole?. Beautiful. Rosa
Bob Orsillo replied:
Hi Rosa, I used a wide lens at a high ISO. This photograph shows only a small number of the many that arrive each year. "Murder of Crows" is a term used to describe a flock of crows. Thank you for your wonderful comment.

Awesome story! When I look at this photo, axe murderer comes to mind...maybe a reminiscent of Pamela Voorhees or a grave digger.. A masterpiece! f/v
