Portland woke to giant, brilliantly colored crows lining the streets

Portland's streets are now lined with 30 giant, brilliantly colored crows. The crows are part of a new public art trail called 'Wildwood: Follow the Crows'. The trail is a collaboration between the city of Portland and LAIKA, a stop-motion animation studio. The art trail will be open through October 31.

The crows are scattered across the city, inviting residents and visitors to explore and discover the installations. The trail is free to the public. The crows are described as vibrant and eye-catching, adding a whimsical touch to the cityscape. The installations are part of a larger effort to promote public art and community engagement in Portland.

The trail is expected to draw visitors from across the region, boosting local tourism and economic activity. The crows are not the only art installations in the trail; other pieces are also part of the experience. The exact number and locations of these additional installations are not specified. The trail's impact on local businesses and community engagement will be watched closely.
