Reading the weather in Devon from the movements of animals - Crows

Ivan Yakovlevich Bilibin - early 1900's
"Crows flocking in large flights, holding their heads upwards as they fly, and cawing louder than usual, is a sign of rain, as is also their stalking by ponds and rivers and sprinkling themselves."

Hewett 1900
