Austin firefighter Terry Petersen takes on the unenviable task of blasting the large amount of crow droppings off the sidewalk in the 200 block of Fourth Avenue NE Tuesday night. Until recently, hundreds of crows had been in the area at night, nearly covering the sidewalk and creating an unsightly mess with the splattered droppings.
