Thanks, Gene.

I should have said that the crows at our house flew north in the
morning and south in the evening, and I had always suspected they
were going to the Foster Island roost, as I have again and again
intersected crow flights on various north-south arterials over the
years that seemed to be continuous from here to there.

I assume that roost is still very large, so perhaps the flight-line
has just shifted a bit east or west of us.
