Thanks for posting the pic. Look's like a straight Merriam's.
Hey, I'm serious. Has it been murder of crows, etc, for centuries or a few years. I don't remember hearing a lot of those terms when I was a kid--just a few--like gaggle of geese. OTOH there weren't a lot of groups of animals to name in Detroit. Flock of pigeons, pack of rats, pretty much covered it.
I’m pretty sure murder of crows predated your birth, but maybe not. There’s use of the term dating to the 5th century. How old are you?Quote:

I think crows are older than even a really old goat.Quote:

Deer are so common here that I don’t take pics of them, but this two-tone mule deer has been around here since she was a fawn last year. She brought her fawn by.

So for kicks I looked up the spelling and it’s from the Anglo-Norman era. I mean I guess they wanted some history cred because it’s a fairly new restaurant, and I guess they thought “You know, we’re just gonna skip Anglo-Saxon and go right on back to Anglo-Norman.”

You'll have to take my word for it but these are tundra swans on Donner Lake. We see them about every other year, early winter, and they only stay a couple of days. They sound a little like loons and look like ordinary swans but with black faces. They never get close enough for a good picture with the little point and shoot I have.

I would if I had an account.
Here, pretend this is my picture.

They're even facing the same direction mine were.

This. I’d rather deal with a momma grizzly than a momma moose. And any non-rancher shouldn’t be worried about wolves. They ain’t interested in ya.Quote:

Jesus, again, everyone is entitled to their own fears, and I’m not even saying you’re wrong, but I’ve walked, skied and biked around literally dozens and dozens (hundreds) of momma and bull moose to continue my day. If I see a momma grizz up the trail? I’m going home, day over.Quote:
