Dancing Crows

This was taken from the top of Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County, California. It sure looks like they're flying for the pure joy of it.

I've seen this kinda behavior with murders of crows. they like to play games and do sports from tree to tree. no joke. there is even a hirearchy among crows and if you listen really close to them you can tell who the oldest most respected crow is. amazing lil' buggers.

You sound like a birding pro (muders of crows). How are groups of differnt birds named? I believe a group of Turkey Vultures are called a "kettle". I just call them TV's..I like watching TVs not TV. They fly like a kettle boiling up over the sky.

me a pro? naw, just an old saying...Crows always get a bad rep. when there is a huge number of crows, people refer to them as a "murder of crows" weird huh? I use to Landscaping. so I got to spend alot of time outdoors and just dig in the dirt and watch them every week, it was great.

Yes! I certainly think they are doing their duet for the pure joy of it -and it was like a duet, an aerial ballet. great vid. Mt. Tamalpias is an awesome place to hike around and enjoy the sights & wildlife
