There is still a large crow roost in Springfield, Ohio. This year they seem to be roosting along Buck Creek near the center of town. This is a couple blocks from where they have roosted in earlier years. I'm sure the roost is more than 20,000 birds right now. Strangely with all of the crows that winter here, they have seemed scarce in the summer. In a couple Breeding Bird Atlas blocks a few miles from Springfield no crows were seen during work on those blocks.

Hey, Birders, Since I've seen a few posts regarding large flocks of crows recently, I thought I'd ask: Has anybody seen any HUGE roosting areas this winter like were seen last winter? I remember a couple mentioned in the central Ohio area- I meant to get down and see the spectacle but never made it. I was especially interested in the one near Zanesville where you could sit and eat your dinner at Cracker Barrel while watching for them to come in! : ) Thanks and good luck to all who mamage to get out this weekend!
