Fog Crows



Berlin has ill-tempered, butt-kicking scavenger birds which go by the beautiful name of Nebelkrähen, or fog crows. They're at least as tough as their all-black American cousins, the ones that strut along Interstate 5 and stare down cars for a bit of sunflower seed.

The common English name for Nebelkrähe is hooded crow, but I plan to mount an official request that the name be changed toot sweet.

That's after I get back from Paris, where I get to show off my French.
