Massive crow invasion plagues Pennsylvania borough

February 15, 2012 – CALIFORNIA, Pa. — California Channel 11′s Dave Bondy reported that California University of Pennsylvania used laser lights to get rid of the crows, and that’s when they fled to the American Legion on Second Street. One woman who lives in the area said she made a scarecrow in hopes of ridding her home of the problem. “One day I was so mad I said I was going to build a scarecrow. I didn’t know if they actually worked. I put it in the tree and it didn’t,” Bree Robinson said. Experts said crows roost in cities to be warmer in the winter. –WPXI
