Hi all:


I have a friend who asked me about something that he saw in Bridgewater ove=
r the winter.  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.
