This is completely off the cuff, about three days after I found the leak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, there&#8217;s a postscript to this story. I talked with an Audubon guy and one of the PNW&#8217;s preeminent crow experts; in June the full story will appear in the Seattle Times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve done three of these live, one at<a href=\"https:\/\/freshgroundstories.com\/\"> Fresh Ground Stories <\/a>(The Hat, that&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nerdseyeview.com\/blog\/2026\/02\/28\/the-hat\/\" type=\"post\" id=\"14699\">here<\/a>) and two at Bar Stories.
