silhouette of a murder

It has always fascinated me that a flock of crows is called a "murder".
I have never been a big fan of crows,to me they seem a bit evil, with their raucous call and they always seem to be sharpening their beaks, they are so black that are are almost blue, I don't know may be it's just me, they give me the creeps!!!

Only my opinion though, they have never done anything to me! haha

Still trying to catch up.

I know right? Maddy is not going to like what you said! I did not know that a flock of crows is called a murder. Somebody, somewhere has a sense of humor.

Wonderful shot Diane. I hate crows, they are quite capable of murdering new-born lambs, and mutilating sheep as I'm sure you well know. Fav.

I love this picture! And I personally enjoy the irony of crows. It looks like there's been a murder on the power lines.
