Check out today's Globe and Mail, Life section, cover story: "A murder of crows" -- Every winter, they descend on towns across the country from Burnaby, B.C., to Charlottetown. They memorize garbage routes and their tomentors' timetables. They may be pests to some, but they're no birdbrains. [SCIENTIFIC DARLINGS -- TOWN SCOURGE] "......"People ... are incredibly stupid." Crows, on the other hand, are smart -- ...the cunning that fascinates researchers also stymies towns that are besieged by thousands of noisy, messy crows every winter...."
