a murder of crows... the story continues...

a murder of crows...
I seem to be following a theme here this fall...
My cat makes me laugh;
He puffs himself up all fat and fluffy,
but then he squats as low as he can to hide from the crows outside -
he can't decide if he wants to appear large or small...
Here was his view today which kept him quite occupied...
So in keeping with our theme we made crows!
and pumpkins...
and fall leaves...

and an autumn moon...
that even grins...
and birds looking at the moon...
and having a chat...
and enjoying each other's company.

I had forgotten what a flock of crows is called and leave it
to a 2nd grader to remind me -
A group of birds of any type is generically known collectively as a flock. For a number of individual birds, there exist poetic collective nouns particular to the type of bird. Many of these collective nouns are fanciful, and not in common use in English - hence "a murder of crows".
Hope you are enjoying your autumn!
