Andrew, Crows are very social animals. They live in family groups during the breeding season, with a multi-year learning period, and young birds raised the previous year often help their parents to raise their younger siblings. In the non-breeding season crows gather into massive roosting
I happened to be driving to Rochester through Geneva a week ago at dusk, and
there was a huge roost (or pre-roost staging area) of crows gathering in the
park at the north end of Seneca Lake too. Thousands of crows silhouetted in the
trees at sunset. Very cool to watch.

I have little to add and nothing to correct in Dave' nice summary. Crows in
and around Ithaca usually choose among several modest roosts (500-5,000 crows).
Some years the main Ithaca roost is hardly noticeable, and in others it's in
your face. The crows typically stage on the Cornell and
I have an explanation of roosts at

Hello all,
A flock of 12 EVENING GROSBEAKS (2 males) on Iowa Rd Bear Swamp and a flock
of ~15 EVENING
GROSBEAKS on Eaton Rd Summerhill (5-6 male; these are in the basin). Eaton
Rd is just down hill from the
Hovel Chalet on Fillmore Rd. In fact, about 10 minutes later after seeing
them on Eaton
The King Eider was seen off Stewart Park in Ithaca this morning around 9:00 AM.
It was in front of, and on top, of the jetty wall between the white and red
light houses.
Three Turkey Vultures were seen near Mount Pleasant Road latter in the morning.

The crow hunting season is a New York State DEC policy. It doesn't make sense to me. I don't think people eat them. There are other DEC policies about killing animals that are damaging farm crops outside of hunting seasons, I believe. I think the policies of Auburn were to try to deter the birds,
To clarify: Auburn is at the head of Owasco Lake, the small Finger Lake that
lies between Cayuga Lake and Skaneateles Lake.

I've seen photos of them showing off their kills-it's not to feed their
families. I knew I misspoke when I said that Auburn instituted the policy. They
are utilizing the policy.
But, you are correct when you say that Auburn has also tried to scare them
away. This is a link to press coverage
Hmm. The crows knows.

Just for the record, Auburn is at the foot of Owasco Lake and Owasco
Creek flows north. Owasco Inlet starts in vicinity of Groton nd flows
north to Owasco Lake.
