wildlife at work

ok. so i work in an industrial area and over the years have noticed the abundance of wildlife. i love it. it seems what i see the most of is crows. i am assuming that there are so many crows because there is so much to eat around the area. i’ve seen them land in truck beds to steal whatever the driver tossed in the back or trash that they are carting off to the dump. they hang out on the power lines and caw just because they can. my favorite is when 2 get together and talk to each other. i know they are up to no good. i imagine they are planning a hostile take over of the “blue-jays” trees. i’ve seen them try. but so far all that happens is is that the “blue jays” start attacking the crows and chasing them around in the sky. it just proves that many can take on one. so don’t mess with the jays man, they will take you out.

another thing i have noticed it the migration of butterflies. a couple of years ago me, brad and a co-worker were outside and we kept noticing all these butterflies coming from the north going to the south. one right after the other. brad of course who knows everything said they were migrating. well that made sense but i have never seen it happen anywhere else. why did they choose that side of the building? of all the space out there why right above our heads? don’t know but it was cool. so every year i look for them.
