I'll remove the blinky for the morning ride as I have another one lower on the bike. I'll put it back for the night ride.
That's the bird (in french, I don't know the bird's name in English):

I stopped under a pine tree Saturday on my way home to check a rattle and there must have been a nest nearby with young crows. Cause one buzzed me and then sat above me and kept cawing at me until I went on my way. It was interesting since I know crows are protective and smart, but I have never been a threat to one before. It also gave me a good story to tell my son, we had read a poem about mobster crows harassing regal eagles.
