Massive Rochester, NY Crow Roost Targeted By City
Rochester, NY is home to a magnificent crow roost — over 20,000 birds strong. The crows leave the roost between first light and dawn and disperse to 20 miles or more all around. By early afternoon they start heading back, gathering at a series of pre-roosts along several flight lines. These are typically noisy affairs and increase in size heading in. For the better of 106 years this crow roost has been observed, appreciated, and counted, but now, the roost is in jeopardy.
