Re: [Maine-birds] Crow behavior

Seems like a curious mystery.
A photo would be great to set the scene better but at least a few more details might help.
Is the road paved or gravel?
Is it open to the sky or overhung with trees?
Is there much traffic? I assume they aren't chased off by vehicles constantly but do the return after disturbance?
Is there a time of day when you are more apt to see them?

Best,
Steve

For as long as I have lived on this rural/suburban road (34 years) I have frequently observed a large murder of crows congregating at a particular spot that spans the width of the road and maybe 10 feet in length. They seem to be eating something, but I can see nothing at that place in the road that looks any different from any other place in the road, certainly nothing that looks remotely edible. I see them at all seasons, maybe not daily but several times a week.
