Today a nature story. My sister and her husband rescued a golden lab/Rhodesian ridgeback. Jake had been abused and slowly has begun his resocialization process. They usually walk Jake in the wooded parks north of Seattle where tall cedars grow densely and birds nest. One day last week my brother in law Ed was walking the dog when Jake came upon two fledgling crows on the forest floor, and quickly dispached them. Immediately the canopy came alive with screeching crows. The crows dive bombed the dog and Ed, then chased them all the way home where they squawked in protest until the woodpeckers ran them off. In the ensuing days they started screeching at Jake
and anyone who walks him- my sister, the neighbor, or my nephew. Even if they avoid the park the birds will try to run them off. None of Jake’s people are welcome in the woods any more, even without the dog. Crows remember and they hold grudges.
