others begin to drift in silent silhouettes against the half gray light of the early evening sky soon the main flock comes wheeling in arid the lacy limb patterns above are covered with thousands of wriggling black shapes all jostling for positions in a matter of minutes a huge dark mushroom has formed overhead literally snuffing out any remaining light to test their reaction to a common enemy close by you step from con- cealment and clap your hands sharply the swoosh of wings instantly followed by the roar of alarm is deafening it sounds somewhat like the unleashed voice of a huge crowd when the deciding point has been scored at a sports spectacle it also has an unnerving effect on your system for as you watch and listen to the reeling horde flailing about in the dusky sky you begin to wonder what for instance would happen if they suddenly decided to turn their attention on you their human intruder using the same communication that alerts them to danger could they conceivably spread the signal to at tack how- helpless i would be if they like the piranha fish each swooped in for a single bite with these thoughts in mind i quietly- left the wooded grove to its blackfeathered oc cupants such a big bird as a j crow demands an equally large appetite when wc multiply this by the number of individuals seen al their roost we get some idea of the influence these birds exert on the surrounding countryside each day for example during thiscoldweatner roosting season the black fliers range out as far as fifty miles to feed then return each evening- their principle food during this season- is waste grain old fruit i refuse and carrion in early jspring they forsake these communal night spots and spread in pairs over the province for nesting although their depredations on nesting songbirds are well known the overall effect orif individual species is debatable however -ducks- unlimited and other field studies show that in clutches of eggs laid by gamebirds scarcely one brood in four escapes the predation of these black eggloving marauders gormley welcomes re 8 by evelyn milsted gprmleyf twb cantonese refugees thu and tai tranjspohsored by tkejgbrmiey misslonaryv
