Notes
If you get a chance check out the Billings Bridge Crows. There is a giant roost of hundreds if not thousands of them along Riverside Drive near Bank Street. A friend has also mentioned they spend the nights there while another thinks some of them spend their days around the Civic Hospital. Either way it's interesting to see these cool winged creatures gather. I imagine they have quite the social structure.
Around the same time last year I took a similar photo from a different location but likely a satellite gang of the same bunch.

The photo has some pretty cool effects. But I love the name, it has a very Hitchcock like sound to it. Like your about to tell a cool story after you say the name " The Crows of Billings Bridge"

Yeah you told me about this one. Cool. It looks like these things called "Rods", which is basically an urban legend perpetuated by The Learning Channel. Google "Rods" and you'll see.

That is some cool slow shutter effect. We also have tons of crows close to Orleans. They eat the salt on the roads and leftover corn in the fields.

Holy crow that's cool. Good way to see their flight patterns. You could probably measure the wing strokes per meter. Can you spot Carlos?
