Sound Description: Hundreds of Crows squawking on a breezy afternoon

In nature you have a "gaggle" of Geese or a "Pod" of whales, but a "flock" of birds, if they happen to be crows is actually called "A Murder of Crows". An appropriate name if you happen to be standing underneath hundreds of them in the trees. They emit a murderous ;) squawk and screech for hours. This was a digital audio recording, done at 48 MhZ at a group of trees a mile from a country freeway. You can still hear the ambient sounds of the distant cars.
