Crows Coming and Going

Occurred on February 6, 2022 / Bangor, Maine, USA

: "Each year in the fall, as the temperatures get cooler, the crows in Maine tend to gather in large groups that can number in the hundreds and even thousands. It's believed that roosting together provides heat, safety, and better access to food sources during the winter months. I first noticed them flying over my house each afternoon around 4:00. Four times now, they've landed in my backwoods. They gather here for about 30 minutes before moving on to wherever they spend the night. Generally, they come from one direction and leave all together in the opposite direction. This particular day, though, they seemed to be coming and going, circling around overhead as I shot this video. It was quite a spectacle for a while."
