Fred is retired but still around.

Sometimes these pre-roosting movements go off in many directions so it is possible that this is what happened in this case. If so, the crows would indeed double back. Having said this, there are a number of reasons the main roost might fragment. Predation, disturbance, weather and the advance towards spring are all reasons that come to mind.

We see them fly by our condo each evening along the Bedford Hwy, but some of them appear to head off towards Kearny Lake. - Perhaps to circle back and approach the Mount from the west? Thanks.
