Anyone notice a drop in crows in the mid Atlantic. In my travels through N J and PA the birds are not around. When I was in goose or deer mode watching the skies, they just seem to be scarce. Even worse when I'm on a crow hunt, the resident birds that I mostly have are short supply. N J is a low bird state to begin with, but this season is even worse. I thought maybe Super Storm Sandy in lat Oct. pushed some out of the area.
I live in central Iowa and we have seen a different pattern lately. When it was cold and snow on the ground you could predict where they were going to fly. It got very warm for a couple of weeks and has messes their flight pattern all up. It has since gotten cold and a light dusting of snow and it has picked up again.
