Crows Quote by Linda Marsa
““There were 400 dead crows that had been sitting in DEC’s refrigerators in Albany since June,” she recalled with no small measure of outrage, still shaken more than a decade later by what she viewed as bureaucratic incompetence bordering on criminal negligence. “Birds, dogs, cats, and other animals are urban disease sentinels.””
