Murder of Crows (or Ravens)

“One of our techs was bombarded by ravens who were nesting on a billboard structure along an interstate here in Montana. The structure is a V shape, with framework and walking boards behind it so that the tech can access the board from the back without a truck. He had to endure non-stop hollering from the babies and the parents, plus dive bombing from both parents all while attempting to change [the wrap]. He got it done as quickly as he could, and without getting hurt, but it was still an ordeal. He left the nest and the babies alone, and the parents continue to nest there every year!”
