Winter Crows: Natural History and Roosting
Presented by Pattie Steinman
Crows are among the most intelligent of birds, and winter presents an opportunity to observe them at their urban roost sites. Springfield hosts one of the largest roosts in the state, with more than 7,000 birds estimated to gather each evening around sunset. Learn the natural history of crows, how to tell the difference between crows and ravens, and how best to observe their roosting behavior.
