Carrie and I were entertaining ourselves watching the neighbor's cat Loki hang out on our front porch and Spot bitch out his presence from the window when something caught my eye.

At first I thought it was a hawk. It roosted in a tree across the street with four other huge birds. Carrie was sure they were hawks. "Get Pete inside! Tell Loki to go home! Those birds will get them!"

I didn't do that because I'm lousy at following instructions. Instead, I got my camera and went outside to try to take some pictures. I snapped a few shots, warned the doves on the wire above me not to take a crap on my head, talked to Loki, and started having my doubts about them being hawks. There were too many of them and they were too dark in color.

Carrie came out and we discussed it. Crows were suggested. So were vultures. Finally, we decided what these huge birds were: Doom Birds. Five huge black birds gathered in a tree had to be a sign of doom or, at the very least, some sort of birdie gang meeting.

I showed the pictures to Dad when he got home and he said they were crows.

But, I bet they all had little leather jackets and switchblades and I just know they were up to no good.

I bet they also knew how to dance before the big rumble.
