and the thefts of other kinds of vehicles. >> reporter: carmen is the executive director of consumer watchdog, a group dedicated to safeguarding the interest and rights in california consumers. >> we have seen this problem with other cars, impact their ability to get auto insurance. >> reporter: insurance companies, however, they can't just increase prices overnight. >> they have to go to the insurance commissioner. prove that these thefts have, in fact, caused increased losses and get approval for any increase in prices. >> reporter: the advice to camaro owners? >> specifically if it is something near and dear to your heart, install a second type of gps tracker, even other products such as low jack or on site. they help us find those vehicles. >> reporter: on top of that, this should be a wake up call to manufacturers as well. >> we can tell individual consumers, oh, there's a flaw with your car. these are ways to get around and try to protect your car from being stolen. but what we need is

action higher up at the manufacturer level to make sure it isn't so easy to clone those fobs to begin with. >> reporter: it is not just the big cities in california that are keeping an eye out on this. the city of rohnert park recently warned the community there to be aware of this issue. >> car thefts overall will remain a big problem in the bay area. last year oakland hit record numbers. close to 15,000 cars were stolen according to police reports. that is up 44% from last year. it averages out to about 40 stolen cars per day. this year oakland has had about 2,400 car thefts so far. that's less than this time last year. in san francisco there have been about 1,100 car thefts so far, and that is on par with last year. now video from sonoma county. the sheriff's office showing detectives, air lifting a camper from the lake sonoma area. the sheriff says the person was suffering a severe medical emergency yesterday afternoon. he was taken to a local hospital to recover.

everything that i saw. so i apologize if it is a disjointed kind of physically and mentally exhausting. >> reporter: dr. mohammed soaking in the first opportunity to hold his wife and sons after more than a month in gaza, trying to save other peoples loved ones in unimaginable conditions. >> i realized that i was entering an apocalyptic horror movie. the images of kids with their brains blown out. it was just really, it wasn't what i -- the magnitude is more than what i expected. and so i'm still trying to process what that means for all of us as a global community. allowing this to happen. >> reporter: he'll never forget the sounds of drones and

planes buzzing overhead. the screams and the smell of charred flesh. he worked in a field hospital tending to injured civilians. they were set up to treat about 30 patients daily. this past week, they saw almost a thousand patients each day. mass casualties left the doctors color coating people, determining if they had a chance of survival to receive care. >> we really worked with very scarce resources to be able to save lives, save limbs. i saw more dead babies in the past month than i've seen in my 12-year career in medicine. >> reporter: a refugee himself, who grew up in the west bank and immigrated to los angeles. he says he was taught to use his individual gifts to benefit the world. so it was a no brainer to go to gaza despite the risk to his own life. >> also, i don't really go around life functioning out of fear because it paralyzes us to be able to do the things we need to do. >> reporter: he says while he feels so fortunate and relieved

to see his family and friends again. there is another feeling as well. >> and to feel this deep sense of guilt that i left the people there that i've grown to really have a deep connection with and a love for. >> reporter: what he saw in gaza will shape him for the rest of his life. >> i learned from this experience the importance of humanizing everyone around you because we've come to a state in our global society, where it's easy to dehumanize the other person. and that gives you a green light in many ways to commit atrocities that you would never commit. >> reporter: and he said absolutely he would go back without hesitation. willing to risk it all again to help others. >> gaza's ministry of health says in just the past 24 hours, 92 more people have been killed. this springs the

reported death toll to nearly 32,000 palestinians, most of them women as you just heard, children. more than 100 hostages have been held by hamas for five months. the group world central kitchen is sending aid to gaza. a vessel carrying 300 tons of food, water, and supplies is now unloaded, and they will distribute the first provisions provided by the u.s. charity even as the u.s. government gives israel billions in taxpayer dollars to propagate that war. >> israel a prime minister benjamin netanyahu is firing back at comments senate majority leader chuck schumer made last week, in which he called for new elections in israel. >> it is inappropriate to go to a sister democracy and try to replace the elected leadership there. that's something that israel does on their own. and senator schumer, opposes these policies. it is not opposing me, but opposing the people of israel. >> netanyahu said the focus

should be on hamas and bringing an end to their rule. and former speaker, nancy pelosi, is defending senator schumer's speech. take a listen to what she told cnn. >> chuck schumer's speech was an act of courage, an act of love for israel. i wish the prime minister would read the whole speech because he speaks with great things about the need to defeat hamas. >> the white house says it has not seen a credible plan from the israeli government on how it will protect hundreds of thousands of people in gaza if the israeli military carries out an operation in rafah. netanyahu still plans to go forward with the plan and it should take several weeks. and still ahead here at 6:00. thousands put on their green outfits to celebrate st. patrick's day today. we'll take you to the celebration in the east bay. and plus who is in and who is out, and what teams are in the number one slot? we'll have your march madness

breakdown. and in the forecast, as fantastic as the weather is right now. lurking out there, out in the pacific is the next storm. we're not done with winter yet. don't let this weekend fool you. enjoy this weather. you'll get like three more days of it. then things are going to change. colder air is coming back with widespread rain. i'll tell you when that gets here coming up in the forecast next.

welcome back. today is st. patrick's day. one of the most widely celebrated events of the world. >> in the bay area, the city of dublin is marking their 40th year, commemorating a religious holiday that has changed a lot over the years. john ramos has the story. >> every year thousands of people come to dublin to

celebrate a piece of history that turns out very few people know anything about. ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> i think it is awesome. i mean it's a weekend a year that everyone in dublin becomes irish. >> reporter: it's st. patrick's day in dublin, which looks a lot like the county fair, except the kettle corn is green, and visitors must search through their clothing to find anything that looks remotely green in color. >> the green is not a color i wear typically, so it's a little -- i have to search for something like a custom 49ers green t-shirt. >> i think dressing up makes it the part that is a part of the holiday. that's what makes the holiday. >> jeff campbell is 50% irish, which will make him about 100% more than most of the festival goers. he's been to the old country and says they are not sure what to make of america's

st. patrick's day traditions. >> i think most of them will shake their heads. just like what's up with them? >> they don't understand this? >> no. they don't quite understand it. right. >> reporter: but that's okay because the irish see themselves as a fun loving people, always looking for any reason to celebrate. >> it is known as the irish outlook on life. >> reporter: but live streaming the festival admitted that it does seem like a peculiar holiday. >> you know, i'll be honest, i don't know much about st. patrick's. all i know is he's irish with a nice big build. i can't grow one. and i envy that guy, you know? >> reporter: tuns out the patrons saint of ireland wasn't irish at all. abducted at a young age from roman controlled britain and taken to ireland as a slave. he escaped, but later returned as a priest to convert the masses to christianity. so the church made him a saint and even

suspended the ban on alcohol during his feast day that may be why drinking has always been a part of the holiday's tradition. >> okay, all right. that makes sense. hey, you know, celebrate the catholic saint, right? >> with a beer. with more than one probably. >> and the city of dublin wouldn't have it any other way. >> after 40 years of doing this, i mean it's become a staple, you know. this is a signature event for the city of dublin. so we cannot not celebrate st. patrick's day. >> it all makes sense to us even if the people in ireland don't quite know what to make of it. >> and it was a beautiful day for a st. patrick's day event. but changes are on the way. let's go over to first alert meteorologist darren peck. >> it is lucky to be a 180 by the time we would get to next weekend. we're going back to rain to get colder again and it is totally different from the day you just spoke to and that is a review of the last two

hours. and the city was at 61 degrees. 62 will be average. right on the mark for that. if you look at the valleys, that is where it is noticeable warmer. and tomorrow is going to get about a degree or two warmer than this. and just to show you how tomorrow starts, i'll show you this morning. we'll go back in time here. taking a look at early sunday morning in the 6:00 hour. we woke up to may gray today for parts of the city. it's going to be more widespread tomorrow. when we use the high resolution forecast to see how this goes, you can actually see the valleys here. all the clouds kind of conforming through the petaluma gap up there in sonoma county. napa, of course, you can see the bulk of the days. and when we come in, you can take the drive up 101 and most of marin. we will wake up to the may gray skies tomorrow morning. i think the trivalley might avoid this. by the time we would get to late morning, that's all gone. we will go right back to more blue skies

just like it is now with the daytime highs a degree or two above where they are today. so san jose, you're going to 76 tomorrow. monday is actually the peak for this. it's the warmest day in this seven-day forecast. not to say tuesday and wednesday are still really nice. they are. tuesday and wednesday pretty much carbon copies, but they will be a little cooler. then by the end of the week, everything changes. so let's go back to the forecast imagery, and we will bring back that story just to show you how this storm sitting way out in the pacific finally is able to breakthrough this dominating ridge and bring us back to winter. and that is probably a good way to start thinking about this. so many people are enjoying this weekend as you should. we are getting towards, you know, coming over fast on the equinox. it will be spring here. and however, the atmosphere has not caught on yet. if we watch the next storm, it will finally breakthrough the ridge. now look what's sitting off the coast on friday. and this has

gotten a little clearer in terms of the pictures in the long range models. although this is far from assured in terms of detail and timing. and the fact that they will get rain. going into friday through sunday. watch what happens. you'll see how the storm has been put together with a good subtropical tap of moisture almost like it's got a weak atmospheric river, pulling up into it. a pretty good area of low pressure that will come down from alaska. so it is going to have everything that you need. you will have cold air to work with and moisture to work with and they will drag most of the rain likely through wednesday into saturday. and we could have another system that will come our way after that. once we get into next week. we are not going to go that far down the road yet. let's take a one day at a time. here is the most likely outcome right now for how much rain we might see in the time period. this is the model that will be bullish than the other long range forecast model. so the totals are big here with an inch and a half for some places

here on the high side. more like a little over an inch in general. and if we get that much rain in that period of time, we are not concerned about flooding. this is not a seriously impactful storm. but it's going to be a noticeable storm because they will feel like a 180 for us after the incredible weather that we are having out there this weekend. and you'll see the rain that will come back here on friday, but we keep the scattered showers going for saturday and sunday. it is still going to remain to be seen here. how the timing and the intensity will work out for next weekend. but if you've been going along with this all winter long, this is how most storms have come together. give us until about wednesday and then we're really going to be able to start nailing down some of the specific details in terms of timing and amounts. right now, what we looked at is the best bet from the long range models. vern, over to you. all right, straight ahead in sports in case you're just walking in the door. the ncaa men's tournament bracket are out. did your team get in?

and march madness,

there is a local touch. saint mary's gaels going big time. good seeding too for the west coast conference champs. >> and on friday in spokane, we'll get the no. 5, saint mary's. >> yeah, he didn't stutter. the no. 5 gaels will play the grand canyon on friday in spokane. and they made three straight ncaa tournaments for the first time in program history. and the winner will get alabama or charleston in the second round. the senior, joined our matt lively after the brackets were announced. >> it is time to be joined by alex ducas, no. 5 yet again.

what was your reaction to see your name up on the board? >> it is hard to put it down to one emotion. >> reporter: what's the first thing you think of when you think of spokane? >> gonzaga obviously. hopefully they have a few fans for us. any way we're going to play, we'll be happy. >> reporter: randy bennett was talking about it, the third straight years you guys are no. 5. first time in program history that saint mary's is going to the ncaa tournament for three years in a row. how have you changed the identity of who the gaels are? >> i think we believed in ourselves a lot more than others, trying to change the coach around here. and winning is going to become a normal around here, and making the march madness that won't be so much of a big deal and an every year thing. glad to switch to the culture, but saint mary's on the up. >> reporter: i know you don't know too much about grand canyon, but what have you heard? >> to be honest, i heard it's a party school. and i'm sure they are a great team and pretty physical. but no, it

will be a great matchup. >> reporter: you're hoping friday comes around and you might get them not so well rested? >> we'll see. maybe a few more fans in the arena, but nevertheless, i'm sure it will be great. party at the ivy league championships. brown looking to punch their ticket to the dance for the first time since '86. yale got one more chance. matt knowling for the win! yale took down brown in a thriller. 62-61, earned an automatic bid in style. bulldogs will play auburn in the first round. and the atlantic 10 championship for duquesne and virginia commonwealth. and they shut off the red and blue confetti. the duke fans, they loved it because they were up 15 at the time. and they hung on to win 57-51 to clinch their first trip to the tournament since 1977. and they got to celebrate with confetti at the

out and say listen, this is a big playoff game and we need to go out there with that type of focus and win it and guys are locked in, getting the job done. >> you don't have to tell me about anything. i'm just excited to be back and we have not won in two years ago and that is top of mind too. hey, steph curry loved golf. the final round of the championship. considered the major of the sport. scottie scheffler started the day back on the lead. holding out from 92 yards. that's an eagle. scheffler shot an 8 under 64 with the clubhouse lead. wyndham clark to force the playoff? oh, hit that cup, spun out, and scheffler won for the second week in a row and second consecutive players championship, hold on to something. he took home $4.5

million for that win. and they made $4.5 million in a couple of lifetimes. that guy does it in one tournament. >> and that is amazing. i hear the jackpot is pretty high with a chance, right? >> and only if you bought one. >> and all the time to save with that golf lesson. thanks. coming up in the next half hour, where they are not ready to throw their support behind former president trump. politics could be stressful. one state leader wants to find out what makes voters happy. the new committee coming to sacramento. how a mom is helping teachers live in the city where they teach. that's all

welcome back to the cbs2 news in san francisco. we'll begin this half hour on the campaign trail. former president trump is doubling down on campaign rhetoric that has even some republicans questioning his use of words. and many democrats are worried they will incite political violence. skyler henry has that story. >> some people are not people in my opinion, but i'm not allowed to say that because the radical left says that is a terrible thing to say. >> reporter: former president donald trump kicked up a fire storm as he describes some migrants during his weekend rally in ohio. >> and these are animals, okay, and we have to stop it. >> reporter: the presumptive nominee used similar language in a tv interview that aired sunday. >> our country is being poisoned. now look, we can be nice about it and do we want to

be politically correct? but we have people coming in from prisons and jabs and long-term murderers. >> reporter: raising eyebrows, trump warned the crowd of a blood bath if he is not elected as he would vow to impose 100% tariffs on cars made by mexico and china. >> if i get elected, now if i don't get elected, it will be a blood bath. that will be the least of it. it will be a blood bath for the country. >> the general tone of the speech is why many americans will continue to wonder should president trump be president? >> and mike pence, meanwhile, said again, he won't endorse trump's november run. while saying he forgives trump in his heart for what happened on january 6. >> the fact that the president continues to insist that i had the right to overturn the election that day is a fundamental difference. >> reporter: saturday night, president biden addressed the annual gridiron club dinner. aside from several one liners, biden took aim at trump, saying he bows down to russian

president vladimir putin, and warned that american democracy and freedom are under threat. >> president biden's fundraising efforts for re-election are gaining momentum. biden's campaign brought in $53 million in february. combined with general democratic fundraising. he now has $155 million. that's the most cash any democratic presidential candidate has ever had at the stage in this election cycle. a live look at the state where one state assembly member is trying to find what makes us happy. creating a group on the select committee happiness and the public policy outcomes. and their first hearing this week, they heard from experts talk about what makes people happy and what claims their happiness. they will plan to release a report of their findings at the end of august. >> san jose is asking the state for more than $12 million to buy tiny homes. it will come as governor newsom is touting

efforts to bring tiny homes to communities across california to fight homelessness. the homes would sit on a siacre vacant work yard in north san jose. about 200 homes would sit on the site. so far san jose in sacramento are the first two cities to team up with the state for a tiny home development. and staying in the south bay, teachers in los gatos recently moved into their new affordable housing units. while it's a small development, len ramirez shows us it could be the start of something big. >> reporter: los gatos middle schoolteacher, elizabeth sharkey is happy to be home. that's right. for the first time in 11 years, she could be home in minutes instead of hours. >> it's a cute little house.

elizabeth is one of five lucky teachers who just got to move in to all new affordable housing built just four teachers in pricey los gatos. she pays just over $1,900 for this 900-square foot, which is half a block from downtown. market rate rents for that area could be as much as $1,500 more. >> it is very difficult for teachers to afford to live in the places that they teach in california in particular and santa clara, san francisco bay area. the housing market is out of reach. i feel like i won the lottery getting this house, and that i'm so happy that our community is doing something to help teachers. >> hi, how are you? >> i'm doing well, thank you. >> reporter: the four-unit complex was developed by sarah who has a finance background,

but no construction experience. she is a mom of a los gatos student whose teachers were frequently absent it in stormy weather because they commuted from distant communities. >> and we explained the concept that teachers can no longer afford to live where they work, and they were a part of the missing middle and they asked the community if they would help. >> and they did? >> they did. >> reporter: convinced that the town of los gatos to donate an unused piece of land. she got construction companies to donate work and services and even some of the materials were leftovers from nearby luxury builds. >> basically it was an old fashion barn raising. >> you know how to do a volcano, right? >> reporter: elizabeth who grew up in los gatos teaches sixth grade history and a former santa clara teacher of the year. she previously rented a room at a home in the santa cruz mountains, which took so much out of her paycheck that she planned to leave the district. now with her new affordable home, she says she

can save money and be more present for her students. >> it does make a big difference in the lives of the kids and in our lives too. i have a lot more time now, now that i'm not fighting highway 17. i can give that time back to my community, as i have more time to go to my students concerts and performances, and, you know, run clubs after school and such. >> reporter: elizabeth says she can finally plan for her retirement, and she hopes her home in one of the most expenses places to live can be an example for other communities to build housing for their teachers. >> a recent study found our state's school district owe more than 150,000 acres of land. 75,000 acres of which, according to this study, could be developed into 2.3 million units of affordable housing. the mom who built the housing in los gatos says she has plans for more teacher housing and is looking for partners. you can

more and more new cars are equipped with semi automated driving systems. are they doing enough to keep them safe? kris van cleave has a result of an eye opening new report. >> reporter: those increasingly common systems that could help drive your car are not doing enough to ensure drivers are staying focused on the road according to first of its kind testing from the insurance institute for highway safety. >> they are not doing a good

job. >> the president, david harkey. >> it could be very dangerous. they are not self-driving vehicles. and so you see people who unintentionally misuse these systems to get themselves into trouble. >> reporter: the new insurance institute rating assess how well the systems monitor a driver. issue alerts, encourage shared control with a driver, and react when safety features are disengaged, like taking off the seat belt. of the 14 systems from nine automakers tested, none earned a top rating. just one scored acceptable. the teammate with the advanced drive. two others rate it as marginal. what needs to change? >> the biggest things that need to change are improvements, monitoring both the head, the eyes, as well as the hands to make sure you're ready to take control of the vehicle. >> reporter: the report comes as lawmakers are concerned over the driver assistance systems are growing, prompting this

exchange last week. >> it sounds like to me, it is not ready for prime time. >> and if it is designed to be operated in a certain type of environment, it should be limited to those environments. >> reporter: in a statement, the trade group representing the automakers, argues the systems will help produce the roadway crash and the injuries, but the technology is meant to support a human driver operating behind the wheel. and it requires the human driver to be attentive and engaged. dialed in driving, even in our ever smarter cars. >> and even though the self-driving vehicles are operating in a handful of cities across the country including, of course, here in san francisco. most drivers are still skeptical of them. according to a new aaa survey. two-thirds of drivers expressed fear about fully self-driving vehicles, while drivers are not ready to give all full control of the steering wheel. the survey found that they are open though to driver assistance systems. it is not a surprise that americans have fear about fully

autonomous self-driving vehicles. you'll hear about these collisions involving a fully autonomous vehicle. they are highly publicized. and it just causes people to be very concerned about that type of technology. it is something new. most people have not ridden in a fully self-driving vehicle. >> and that's freaky, just to see that car going down the road with nobody at the steering wheel. they are working with automakers to educate consumers and people like me to build drivers confidence in the cars of the future. and coming up, a bay area straight. the predator helping to drive away those pesky crows. and the bay fc kicked off for the first time today. it may be an away game, but that did not stop. excited bay area fans from turning out to cheering on their team. and if you're enjoying this wonderful weekend weather, you get like four more days of this. make the most of it because lurking just about

2,000 miles off the coast is the next pacific storm, which looks more impressive now than it did yesterday. there is rain coming back. we're going to see more snow in the sierra. we're not done with winter. detail on that coming up in the forecast after the break.

severely clear out there, according to darren that will change shortly. but you would think it's summer with the way kids were running through the fountains of san jose today. this is at cesar chavez, and they came out to walk in the sun and cool off in the fountains. >> the bay area is celebrating their sock or team this evening. bay fc is playing their first game in franchise history. the team is on the road against angel city fc in los angeles. but many people here in the bay area celebrating the occasion at launch parties. here is the scene at a local bar in san

jose where people will gather to watch the big game. bay fc is the 14th team to join the national women's soccer league, the first home game. >> and right now, it is 72 degrees. >> okay. it's 72 at death valley. and we were in the 70s here today, weren't we? >> yes, it's kind of nice out there. >> very nice. boy is it crowded outside today. the parks, every sidewalk is filled. this has been the first significant weekend with this collective sigh of oh, this is what it is like around here when winter ends, and that is very true. there are four more days like this coming, but winter was not done yet off the coast right now off the gulf of alaska. the next storm is getting geared up. to be here by friday with a lot to be worked out. let me

show you what will probably be one of the more dramatic changes that will happen right off the bat. to do that, we will use the forecast imagery and look at the colors on here. they will show you where temperatures are above average. for many of us, we are seven, eight degrees above average today. by the time we get to friday, we are going to be about seven or eight degrees below average. we won't get out of the low 60s. it's not like that's a terrible cold snap, but a big turnaround going right back to it and much of this winter has felt like so far. 2,000 miles away and that's it, our next system. when we put it into futurecast, they take their sweet time. we still got four days of sunny and the low 70s to go. especially tomorrow. tomorrow will be warmer today. don't let your guard down because we're not out of this yet with that system. what we're going to do with this and try to pull out the detail on it and it is

too early to get too specific. there is growing confidence now and the agreement in the long range models coming back. this is the particular long-range model that will have the best track record so far this winter. usually the most bullish, and usually they get it right. with the caveat that this does not have to be how they go, but the precedent has been set. you see how the storm is put together? look at that moisture getting pulled at us. that's friday. the timing on it right now is friday into saturday. we still kind of have the center of the system to get through and then perhaps by sunday, things will clear out. we're not going into that one yes. that's not tomorrow monday. that's the monday after that. that's too far to take anything of meaning away from that. and we'll go into amounts on how much we might get in one second. but first before we get there since you're not getting rained on

for four days. and tomorrow is going to be even nicer than that day was. we were just looking at the time lapse on that and put some numbers up on your mind. you start out with the marine layer, waking up to gray tomorrow morning and the marine layer. then they will melt back. don't be fooled by the gray skies to start the day tomorrow. it will be kind of like may and summer that way. clouds will be gone. then you'll get more low 70s that will pretty much be the theme for the forecast tomorrow. just to give you a peek ahead of how much rain we might get. this is the same model. now keep in mind, looking at friday, saturday, sunday on here with the totals, about an inch or so. those numbers are bigger than this model and what we thought we would get as of yesterday. so growing degrees of confidence that yes, it will be likely widespread rain coming back. but no, nothing that we can't handle. this doesn't look to be like the intensity of some of the really big storms from this winter. it is not that. but it will be, i think a bit of a head turner and might catch some people off guard who are already starting

to kind of psychologically prepare for the fact that, you know, we are coming up fast on the equinox and fast into spring here. by the time it gets here, it will be spring. we would have passed the equinox when that gets here. take a look at friday and the best bet and then scattered showers are going into the weekend. all right, back to you. >> all right, thank you. and coming up next, the high flying scarecrow. not really, brought in to keep

one man and his right-hand hawk. >> here we go. >> reporter: follow adam vass to work, and you might feel like you're stepping onto the set. of a hitchcock movie. but this isn't hollywood. it's downtown oakland where thousands of crows descend on the city, night after night. >> the crows sleep communally. and they can be hundreds, if not thousands of birds. >> reporter: for the last few weeks, adam and his team of falconers have been working hand and glove with jasper. a hawk to clear out a flock of crows from oakland's federal building. unlike traditional falcons, the goal here is to chase off nuance birds. >> these crows are with a we call sentinels, sent by the

larger flock of crows, to come and kind of scope this place out. >> reporter: while adam insists, he loves crows, it's the mess they leave behind that has people crying foul. >> their droppings could be a huge problem and they could be unsightly, smell bad. >> reporter: jasper functions as a high flying scarecrow. trained to follow a laser pointer as he hops from tree to tree e, sending a message to other birds that a predator is nearby. his favorite snack as we learn, the little bit of frozen mice, which will keep them motivated and full enough not to actually eat any of the birds. and they have been soaring in recent years, as people in companies look for

humane ways to encourage birds to sleep somewhere else. it seems to be working. the spokesperson for the general services administration, which will manage the federal building. she says before jasper, the plaza was covered in bird droppings. not anymore. >> reporter: they come three times a week and coming since february. in that time, we've seen a huge reduction in the amount of crows. >> reporter: at the end of the day, adam and jasper will head home, leaving behind a crow-free building. >> as you will see tonight, there is maybe two or three that are trying to come in to sleep. so you know, the results are really noticeable. >> reporter: the best part, they are free to take their flock party somewhere else. >> it is not just the crows, but they could be used to scare them away and geese. >> so the change in the

weather, even before they hit shore is not happening. it seems like it's developing more than yesterday. so you will rule out hope that we are still outside that four-day window where we
