I sent the following in response to Adam's post but suspect it did not go through. I didn't get it. Apologies if it is a duplication for any of you.

Many years ago the roost was at the Waterbury Hospital. There were American Crows and Fish Crows. Interestingly, each species appeared to roost separately in different trees.

Continuing this very interesting topic on Crows in Connecticut.

Yesterday, Saturday January 24th, while driving through Waterbury on Route 8 at approximately 5PM, my wife Jo and I could see hundreds of Crows in the sky. A conservative estimate would be 300. But it could have been upwards of 500.

It would be interesting at some point to set up a viewing with binoculars a/o scopes one day to try and get a better viewing of exactly where they’re coming from and also if the flock is just one (American Crow?) species.
