My sixth flooring home windows are a superb place to look at birds in flight. Final month I noticed chimney swifts diving into Cathedral Mansions chimney (see chimney swifts video in 2020). This month Pittsburgh’s rising winter crow flock flies previous my window on their solution to the roost.
They’re Again!!!!
On Saturday 10 October I counted 3,000 crows however was too busy counting to take footage.
Final evening I captured numerous video which I sewed collectively for a minute+ of crows in flight. Crow followers will watch the entire thing however most of you’ll want to ditch out early with out watching each single crow.
A number of instances within the video: Questioning why a single crow wheels, turns, and heads backward and down? He’s seen his buddies on the roof subsequent door and desires to affix them.
For now the crows are roosting someplace close to Pitt however as their numbers develop to 10,000 or 20,000 they’ll put on out their welcome and be urged to “transfer alongside” and alter the roost. When that occurs they gained’t fly previous my constructing anymore. The previous couple of days have been a uncommon alternative to rely crows exterior my window.
