I didn't make the original post but I can confirm that the IKEA roost is
still very much active. It is smaller than the Bothell roost but still
sizable. Estimated numbers of both roosts are in an article somewhere
online...
I see many crows heading to the southern roost from Bellevue in the
Fall-Winter evenings via the SR 900 corridor (between the Cougar and
Squak mountains) and their numbers really build up in the Lind Ave/167
area.
