Evening of October 18 and morning of October 19, Tony Bledsoe reported on PABIRDS:

“Last night (Oct. 18th, 2011) at my home in Forest Hills Borough, Allegheny County, my wife and I counted slightly over 1,000 American Crows flying to roost, headed NNE, over our house at dusk. This morning, on the University of Pittsburgh campus in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, there were approximately 500 crows roosting in the sycamores around the Clapp-Langley-Crawford complex. They were noisy as they started to leave the roost, and I was lucky to dodge the “rain” they produced as they left. As Kate St. John predicted about a week ago, they’re now back.

The towpath — where visible — is just a hiking/horseriding trail. Sometimes the towpath apprears to be completely gone. I think the flood when the dam broke in 1852 was quite severe.

The crows have been spending their summer in Glenshaw. There was lots of nois when the kids started to leave the nest and they are still there as of Tuesday this week.

Has the old canal towpath been rehabilitated as a multi-purpose trail?

Kate, Meg and I have had about 100 crows in both morning and evening this week, at our home in Forest Hills (Allegheny County). Indeed, the flocking has started.
