I know about the crows gathering and then setting off altoge= ther to a roost site. The flight to the roosts consists of large numbers s= preading out in line for miles across the sky. I've seen groups of 500-300= 0 doing this. Over the winter I see it often where they will circle around= before setting off. My friend observed a flight of crows over the new bridge in Bridgewater whe= re crows came in and then went into a vortex, swirling around and round for= a long time with over a thousand in this vortex, which spread from the gro= und way up into the air. I've never heard of a tight vortex of crows like = this with a gathering, with a votex that lasted so long. So, has anyone else witnessed this. James R.
