claudia, One might consider that the huge winter crow roost along the railroad tracks and waterfront in Newburgh also includes, or shifts somewhat at times, because I have noted hugh mass gatherings of crows at Powellton Golf Club along Balmville Road and Interstate 84 and also on Grand Street, just north of the Newburgh Free Library. I live in Fishkill, just east of US 9, and I have noted during the winter, flocks of crows headed westward to Newburgh (about 8 miles) and I have been as far east as the Taconic Parkway and Interstate 84 and noted crows flying westward (about 18 miles). However, on one late afternoon visit to the Shawangunk NWR, several winters ago, I noted several flocks of crows heading in a southeasterly direction, presumably heading toward Newburgh. That distance is about 25 miles. Ed Spaeth
