the --Apple-Mail-122-812260233 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed; delsp=yes Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, Jane, I heard what I thought had to be a loon early this morning. It seemed to be travelling, one round of calls close and a second more distant. But no crows. I went back to sleep and would not have remembered it if you hadn't sent out your email below. Since I am a few blocks from you, it could have been the same bird. Is there any chance you had a loon fly over and the crow fuss was coincidental, about something else?
