This is pretty weird. If roosting near lights they do talk after dark like a
slumber party. Like downtown Auburn. But roosts in more natural settings are
quiet in dark. I could only locate them with a receiver and radio tagged
birds. But they don’t fly in the dark well and I would assume that
I had a fire in my burn pit this evening well after sunset in the dark. I
thought I heard a crow caw in the distance a few times. Then I was certain
as the bird came pretty close to my house overhead. There was other
american crows cawing at times too for at least an hour or so between 800
and 900
100s flying from north to south along Cayuga Lake east shore just now.

Our metal grid screened woodpecker suit cakes are being invaded and
consumed by the 2 resident Crows that have been visiting our feeder
area for months and have finally learned from the various family
Woodpeckers which they drive away for their own now-skillful feeding
