Yesterday we had our first killdeer in the field and several red-winged blackbirds at the feeders. On a more humorous note, a Canada goose tried to land on the pond which was still frozen with about an inch of water on top of the ice. He slid about 50 feet before finally stopping then got up, walked a few feet, and took off. Unharmed but a bit surprised it seemed. Doug Johnstone, Morgan Co.

Hi, Leslie,
The crows arent seasonally migrating. They roost on the IU Bloomington campus and Im told at a few other places around town during the winter. They head out in the mornings to feed and return to town in the evenings to roost together. I live south of the campus, so I often see them heading southward in the early a.m. and then northward in the late afternoon. A friend who lives near campus told me that she and her husband have counted over 1000 individuals streaming by in what they call the crow show."

When opening the window blinds on Monday morning, I noticed the crow stream passing over, flying from the east and heading south to southwest. I started counting individually, but quickly switched to counting by 10s. After 5 minutes or so, I had witnessed 580 crows passing by.
All birds reported below were seen or heard from my home.
