I recommend the roost located in the Interstate right-of-way between I70,
Route 209, and the TA truck stop southeast of the intersection. This is near
Cambridge, Ohio. It may not be the largest in Ohio (certainly not the
smallest): I stopped counting early at about 10,000 birds several years ago
when I stopped there the last time I was in the area during evening hours.

I recommend it because you can enjoy dinner while watching the spectacle.
There is a Cracker Barrel restaurant on the hillside overlooking the roost
across the highway. And, you can drive into the truck stop and park within
feet of roosting crows. It seems an improbable location for a large roost,
but they were there at least five years in a row.
