Not a lot of birds

Cinnamon Teal, June 1/L Herlevi 2016
Picture from June.  Very few birds hanging out, a few molting geese babies in the canal.  A bunch of crows marauding a tree, I stopped to see what they were after, and a jogger runs past me and says it's a raccoon, then a few moments later, sure enough, I see a face descending through the branches, and through I can't see the actual animal, the movement of crows shows me where it's heading.  In my direction.  (No idea how the jogger caught that in a fly by.)

As the trail heads back through a grove of trees toward its end, crows mob the trees 30? 40?), cawing aggressively.  I cover my head with an extra shirt, put on my sunglasses, and keep my head down, but they aren't interested in me, and I escape unnoticed.
