Danbury Crow Roost

I have been watching some of the talk about a Waterbury crow roost.  I'm
not sure if anyone mentioned it already, but we have a beautiful roost here
in Danbury that I've observed for years!  They stream into the downtown
area around dusk and often settle near Main Street/Exit 5 area or the
downtown campus of Western CT State University.  Sometimes a large group
will hang out in the trees on my property in Danbury before they head to
the official roost site.  Always a comforting winter sight to see.
