I toss all meat scraps outside, crows get them before I get back
inside... there are coyotes here too but they don't get a chance at
the meat scraps... the crows are way off in the distance atop the tall
spruce, watching for me to open the slider to my deck. In no time
there's a murder of crows picking up every bit and then they fly off
to gorge, crows are smart, they don't eat where they find food.
