[Birdnet] PS - for those crow followers...

[Kevin Colver]

Several years ago I arrived at Provo High School quite early for the  
Christmas bird count.  As I sat in the parking lot small groups of 2-5  
crows flew overhead, all going from the northeast toward the west.  It  
was a bird count, so I started counting.  By the time the other  
birders arrived to start our day I had counted over 700 crows passing  
over, just a few at a time.  It was probably a record year for crows  
in the count for our area, but I doubt there were any more in the  
county than usual.  The crows gather for nocturnal roosts in large  
numbers, then disperse during the day.  One might have to take this  
into account before concluding there is a crow expansion.
Thanks All,
Kevin Colver
