They fly in each night just before sunset, and not only perch in the trees, but on the buildings and parking structures on campus. They definitely come daily from September through April, but as the days grow longer, I (usually) leave work long before sunset and so do not know if they gather here year round. The sky can be full of whirling, swirling birds, and the cacophony of crows can be heard from inside buildings. It is wonderful.

Crow roosts are further proof that good things comes in numbers!

I don’t believe nesting crows roost during that season, but I will conduct my research – soon.
