[cayugabirds-l] A murder of crows

2013-12-18 Thread Tobias Dean
Before 7:30 this morning we observed a murder of crows, I would just
estimate at close to 1000?, multiple hundreds anyway, come up along the
tree line heading south right over our house on South Hill past Upper
Buttermilk Park.  I was struck at how low they were flying, and they just
kept coming for at least 15 minutes. Just a very few rested awhile in a
treetop at the intersection of Sandbank Rd. and W.King road and then kept
going.

[cayugabirds-l] A murder of crows

2013-12-18 Thread John and Fritzie Blizzard
If you want to see impressive murders of crows, come to Auburn just before dark 
 watch 'til it's full dark. If you arrive 1/4 to 1/2 hr. before dark you may 
get to see dozens to a couple hundred Am. robins coming in to roost with the 
crows. I find it totally fascinating no matter how many times I see them.

Fritzie, in Union Springs, where gas was $3.48.9 this sunny, cold, 32 deg. day.
