   69 If you hear a thrush singing on a dark evening, it is a sign of storm. If it started to rain, and the hens did not go in to a house but stopped out in the rain, it is a sign that it is not going to continue raining. 70 In winter if you see a large flock of crows in a field, it is a sign that the next day will be wet. 71 If geese are on a river in the evening and if there is a flood going to rise that night, or if it is going to be a bad night, they will leave the river and get shelter
