Murder in broad daylight... (six pix)

Decided to take the bicycle out today... bad mistake, because it has to be one of the windiest days ever. I came across these Crows trying to manage with the wind. It was funny to watch them, because several times they blew straight back when the tried to fly.

You got a story and I see that it is photo documented but the pictures
do not illustrate/describe the narrative or am I missing something?

In English, a collection of Crows is called a murder, not a flock.
