[cobirds] Crows, crows, and more crows

The past few days we have had large numbers (100+) of AMERICAN CROWs in our neighborhood in southwest Denver (Athmar Park neighborhood, Denver Co.).  This ensemble moves around and feeds in smaller tribes (15-20) with occasional diversions to harass the local hawks (RED-TAILED & COOPER’S).  Today there were at least 200 feeding together with geese up at the park (Huston Park) in addition to those scattered around the neighborhood.  As the day closes out, these maraudering tribes raucously congregate in trees and on roofs nearby before picking up and flying northeast towards downtown.  A lot of noisy and entertaining activity all day long, but have a question for the group:

 

Have any of you come across large nighttime roosts in central Denver?  I recall one used to form on the Auraria Campus and weirdly on the USBank building – anything this year?  Interested in your observations.

 

Good Crowing,

Doug

SW Denver
