There have been as many as 62 TUVU at the compost piles (40+ regularly) whenever I have done crow watches during the last two weeks.
They perch on available fences, gather in groups in fields N and E of the piles and generally "hang out". As it warms in the morning, they sometimes start to circle up very synchronously, making quite a spectacle. Both juveniles and adults are out there.
