Hey Bay Curious fans! Some users reported technical issues with our MP3 this week, so we've re-released the episode to clear up any issues. You may see two episodes in your feed for a brief window of time. Thanks for your patience and we hope you enjoy this one! - Olivia

It's not just you — there are a lot of crows in the Bay Area, way more than there used to be.

This episode of Bay Curious answers three crow queries:

  • Why are there so many crows?
  • Are they pushing out other bird species?
  • Is there a plan to reduce the crow population?

And you just might walk away feeling a little more friendly toward this dark bird.
