Over the last 3-4 weeks there has been an influx of Crows into south Columbus Ohio. Great Southern Shopping Center along South High Street just north of I 270 used to boast of a small flock of Gulls that frequented the line of fast food restaurants along the street. They are long gone, replaced by a murder of crows that gather in the morning and hang out all day. I also found a roost of about 200 crows just North of 104 just West of Lockbourne rd 8 days ago, A large group also was observed last Friday flying from S. High St. toward the landfill at 665 and I 71. Crows are usually found at the landfill but not in the semiurban area along S. High. I wonder if this has been observed before as i have only 3 yrs experience in this area. Thanks , good birding, Phillip North. ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
