I Stumble As The Crow Flies is the first EP by the American punk band Reptile House. It was released in November 1985 through Dischord Records with the catalog number DIS 15.75 01.[1] Drummer London May has likened the sound of the EP to the San Francisco punk/noise rock band Flipper, due to its mid-tempo rhythms[2] and, noisy, jam-session sound.[3] All songs were composed by Reptile House, with vocalist Daniel V. Strasser (later known as Daniel Higgs) writing the lyrics.

I Stumble As The Crow Flies has never been released on CD, but in 2010, producer Ian Mackaye and London May got together to re-issue the EP for its 25th anniversary. The re-issue was released on November 8, 2010.[4]
