A brown creeper ascends the trunk of a walnut tree, its jerky scuttling more insect-like than avian. Up on the ridge, a furious mob of crows.

“Mob of crows”~perfectly ominous.
The crows here seem to be furious, too. I think they don’t like the morning time.
“Mobbing” is the term ornithologists use when crows gang up on hawks, owls, ravens, or sometimes even other crows. They make hectoring types of vocalizations then that you won’t hear at other times.
