Group,
I found this to be a pretty interesting question. Although I am no
expert on crows (or any other bird for that matter), locally we have several
roosts. One exists in Middletown, one in Newburgh and one in Poughkeepsie.
Whether it is by coincidence or design, there are about 20 mi. between the
Middletown roost and Newburgh roost as well as about 20 between Newburgh and
Poughkeepsie. I wonder if the answer is, half that distance or 10 mi. I
wonder if population density also plays a roll. Comments?
Good Birding,

I am interested in finding out if anyone knows, off hand, what the farthest
distance (approx.) a crow will fly to its nightly roost? We have a huge roost
on the railroad tracks in Newburgh and would like to have an idea as to the
distance in miles the farthest crow will travel to sleep here every night.
