I have seen large flocks (~500) moving around for no apparent reason after the
main roost has settled down. For example, on Thursday, such a flock headed NW
away from campus at 6:45 in silence, except for the sounds of their wings (which
was really neat to see/hear!).

Subject: [NatureNS] Crow roost in fairview
All:
An acquaintance phone to say that last night a huge flock (he thought at least
1,000) of noisy crows was rossting in trees in Fairview, away from their usual
nught roost behind Mt. St. Vincent U. They were there to at least 1 a.m. Anyone
else note this? A termporary displacement because of predation?
