Hi All, Saturday I was down in Cincinnati doing an afternoon presentation for a native plant society there. After my presentation I drove down to Union Terminal, the home of the Cincinnati Museum Center which includes the Cincinnati Museum of Natural History. As I was leaving the museum around 6:00 p.m. I had a great opportunity to witness one of those breath-taking movements of birds that we only occasionally get to see. Thousands upon thousands of American Crows were streaming southward, right across the front entrance of the museum center, heading for an evening roost. There were so many crows that it looked like a river of birds in the sky. Off on the southern horizon, where the birds were collecting around a power line tower, it looked like smoke swirling around the tower as birds jockeyed for perch positions. I caught the tail end of the movement, and even that took about 10 or 15 minutes before the last crow in the group passed overhead. I was able to get a few photos of the birds passing overhead, and a rough digi-scoped photo of the birds swirling around the power line tower. You can find those photos here: http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/276/4443/1024/IMG_0120.jpg http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/276/4443/1024/IMG_0121.jpg http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/276/4443/1024/IMG_0124.jpg It was definitely something that was exciting to see.
