Driving home from work this morning I saw a remarkable sight. Sitting in my truck at a red light I counted 31 crows in a stand of large cottonwoods. I have never ever seen this amount of crows wintering this far north into the prairies of Canada. It was 27 below zero this morning, must really tough or very stupid crows

I'm in upstate NY & they stay in the town dumps all winter, lots of birds not just a few. As a matter of fact, once theres snow on the ground the numbers increase, easy dinner pickins, I guess.

i live in NY to and there are thousands of crows in this one field on the farm i work on every morning. eating the fresh spread manure. as long as they have food i think they stay, and like you said, after it snows, they seem to bunch up even more
I'm in central Maine and there is a flock here in the thousands that stay all winter. They go to a dairy farm that milks about a 1,000 cows a day. Besides getting into the cow feed, they pick through the cow crap to get undigested grain.
Yep find the cows and you'll find crows nearby every time. They thrive near agriculture, they are the most adaptive and opportunistic creature on earth.
P.S. some of our more successful days have been below 30 degrees, some below 0!
