Also: I recognize that at 42 seconds this video is too long, and yet, I couldn't find any seconds I was willing to cut out.

i woke up this morning to a crow saying 'ma! ma!'

I thought it was one of my children. I guess I'm not one of those moms who can tell her baby's cries apart from all the other babies (or at least various wildlife).

The good news is, based on how sleeping around here has been going for the last week or so, since this crow wasn't calling for me until 6:20am, I actually counted this as sleeping in.
