Anyone in that area notice that around the same time every day (3:30-4) huge swarms of crows come flying around Prospect/Division and go crazy for nearly 2 hours, if not more? It’s quite wild to see and hear.

New Haven crows do this every winter. They congregate on east rock in the sun and then fly into the sunset. Every day.

Thanks for that info! This is my 4th winter here and I don’t recall it being like this.

Sure thing! It's a really neat phenomenon. If you set your alarm while downtown, just look up. Enjoy. : )

I live in Meriden and we have 2 large murders (flock of crows) that congregate in the large trees in my neighborhood. Mean birds they are! I have seen them chase down smaller birds to exhaustion, when they literally fall from the sky and are consumed.

They were in "Chapel West", roosting every night, for a few weeks in the late fall. Thought I was going to lose my mind or have to find a new apartment. And tonight, they're back! Ugh.

That's the name for a group of crows.
