Crow in the Maple Tree

Whether or not the crow cawing in the maple tree outside our window has damaged crops or overturned nearby garbage cans is no concern of mine.

The crow in the maple tree is conspicuous, insistent.  The bird is in my ear.

I read somewhere that crows can be kind and will help injured brethren.  I have also read they are capable of murder without apparent motive.  Many will gather to mob the weak.

Get out of our tree you stupid killer bird!  I still want to go back to sleep.
