Midwestern Gothic

have you ever noticed how crows always seem to be arguing? several times a day i will come across a pair of crows standing in front of some discarded food, trash, or roadkill squawking very loudly and aggressively at one another. this will go on for about 10 minutes until they forget why they were there in the first place and fly off somewhere else to start another argument. i always wonder what they are arguing about, or if they are even arguing. their sounds are slightly uglier than a songbird’s, and this may just give an appearance of an argument. they could be saying something like, “hey larry, do you think this dead rabbit will taste any good?” or “did you hear that earl passed away? yeah, it was that west nile virus. that dumbass johnny may have it now since he ate him.”
