What are some things in nature that you find marvelous, beautiful and fastinating?

Right -they are an interesting species. 

Agreed!
:)

They are like little black evils.  I prefer the cardinals and blue birds. 

Yeah, something about those crows - - more is going on with them than they let on.
:)

Cardinals are gorgeous!

Blue jays are incredibly annoying and like to swoop cats.

Magpies like to swoop PEOPLE.

I said Blue Bird, not Blue Jay.  They are not the same. 

Oops. They don't hang around here. I hate it when I make a mistake.

It was about time.  Now that's your one for 2018. 

YES!!
What a great movie to me! The movie, and this entire scene, and the scene that leads up to it, is a big reason why crows are such a favorite to me, ha!

In fact, the scene right before this is, if I had to choose, THE Most Perfect Movie Scene I've ever seen.
I love how Hitchcock shows us on screen only what he wants us to see. And when he wants us to see it. And there is no dialogue, only "Melanie Daniels" smoking a cigarette and she is terribly concerned. And all the while we hear the children singing that song, over and over, it repeats . . . wondrous!

Excellent movie. I have NO idea how my response posted twice.

I like the movie a lot, too! I again watched the attack scene you posted. I know of several people who mention the effects here aren't that believable but I've always been able to just experience the scene as the frightening scene it is.
:)

No worries about the post appearing two times. It's worth it.

I root for the Crows ...

I'd cheer those three particular crows on.
;)

I love crows.
According to Konrad Lorenz, they have up to 40 different calls each with a specific meaning, can work out complex problems, and are social and trainable. I'd love to have a couple as pets.

Subjectively, I've always attached to them the human emotion of an "In-Your-Face" kind of self-confidence. Like, "Yeah. I'm here. What are you going to do about it?" I love that about them - - even if it's just me giving them a human emotion.

The actual facts about them you've shared are cool!
:) 
Thanks!

Neat
:)

Cool.  Made me think of the Joshua Forrest.  I can't really say why........................

Those trees have an amazing ability to survive in harsh conditions. Have you been to the ancient bristlecone pine forest? I've been there twice and love the eastern Sierras.
