Seattle has a thing about crows. Crows are ubiquitous to the city — a single roost at the University of Washington Bothell campus is home to as many as 16,000 birds. The sight of thousands of crows flying toward the campus at dusk has become one of Seattle’s signature attractions for those in the know. A crow-filled sky might stir Hitchcockian visions for some, a “murder” of crows harassing people when they venture outside.
