Very interesting...I saw thousands and thousands of crows flying north for about 8-10 miles...seemed endless...here in the Roanoke, Virginia area where I'm visiting til tomorrow. Had to pinch myself realizing it was not an indicator of Spring when seeing TVs catching thermal winds here in Dixie.

"Look at the birds..." Matthew 6:26
I look at them because I believe in their existence, the way their songs begin and end each day–the invocations and the benedictions to God Himself. I look to the birds because they remind me of what I love rather than what I fear. And that God's eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me!

Last week, we saw over about 5000 crows in a 10 mile stretch of I77 heading
toward Cambridge. I found a website that discussed this winter behavior. It said
1000s or 10,000s of crows will fly to a roosting site near a town or city at
dusk because the ambient air temperature is warmer due to heat loss from
buildings, Early in the AM, the crows will fly off to their regular hunting
gounds and return the next dusk to roost. This makes sense, as crows are very
smart.
