What did I say earlier -- that scarecrows, true to their name, were originally used to scare crows? The scarecrow in this photo won't be scaring any crows, because it is a crow! Notwithstanding the fact that "crow scarecrow" is something of a contradiction in terms, the figure in the picture above makes for an effective Halloween decoration. The patch-covered overalls, alone, would scream "scarecrow," even if the figure weren't striking the classic scarecrow pose. I'll overlook the fact that he's a crow if you will....
