Has anyone noticed all of the crows out recently? In my yard i have 3 trees and thousands of crows have been flocking there nightly to roost. Beginning in fall as the days draw in, crows do something strange and interesting: birds that forage over a large area during the day come together to spend the night in a communal roost. Crow populations are high in many areas, and roosts of a million birds have been reported. A couple years ago a crow went on a crime spree Ogden nature centers wild Wednesday "Wild About Ravens" presentation. Have you ever wondered how to tell the difference between a raven and a crow?
