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?

Nancy
