I walk almost every day at Cedar Lake. I have observed very large flocks of crows there for several years. They attack, and I have witnessed them attacking great horned owls and a great gray a few years back. I haven't seen one owl this winter, and I wondered if the crows drove them away. I also saw them flying after and bothering a red tailed hawk that had some chunk of red something hanging out of it's mouth. There are also severalhundreds that hang by the Theo. Wirth park and golf course by Basset Creek.
They are known to have a hierarchy and family type structure and are reported to be among the smartest of wild birds. At sunset they have a nesting and gathering instinct especially prevalent at this time of year. They are also a threat to many species of birds other than themselves, from what I have read. To respond to Sonja Dahl's question about where they hang during the day, I would guess it's in the Cedar Lake, Theo. Wirth area.
