Great report. Is this truly migration or seasonal movements? Will they stay south?

American Crows from the north are on the move at this time of year. 

 Four years ago today, I had the distinct pleasure of seeing hundreds of migrating crows from the Woodmont orchard parking lot in Hollis NH which had probably been following the Merrimack River. An hour later, hawk watchers on Mt. Wachusetts reported seeing hundreds of crows passing overhead. That mountain and Hollis are on a direct line SW and the crows were flying at their mph rate.

Yesterday, Eric Mueller, the Mt Wachusetts hawk watcher reported his first flock of migrating crows..

Keep an eye out and please report what you are seeing.

The numbers of crows in Massachusetts winter roosts wil begin to swell.
Late December is the peak in my nearby Lawrence MA roost.
