Crows gather in small to large groups during the fall/winter months. During
the spring you'll see them begin to separate into breeding pairs and then,
during the summer their numbers will increase as the babies fledge and
follow the parents around. Be sure and watch carefully during this time as
it's quite entertaining. The parents take the young to each feeding station
(or site) and show them where the food is. It's delightful!

Happy Birding!
