What's Happening in Bethesda, MD…

In winter, both American and fish crows often form large roosting flocks at night, and Bethesda birders will pay a visit to one of these sites.

A pop-up activity has been organized by the Montgomery Bird Club that will provide a sneak peek into the secret world of roosts and why crows tend to form these large flocks. Jim Wilson, who has many years of experience when it comes to observing the two species, will host the event.

Those interested can drop by the North Bethesda Metro Parking Garage, which will be the meet-up point for the activity. It will begin with a presentation by Jim, who will discuss the ecology and behavior of these social birds, as well as provide tips for observing them. It will then be time to take in the spectacle of the crows’ arrival.

Exploring urban wildlife can be a fun way to learn about the natural world. A flyer printing company can prove to be an economical choice for not-for-profit groups and small businesses to promote an event to the public.

Bethesda birders are welcome to be part of this visit to a local communal crow roost on Saturday, December 5. Everyone who would like to participate asked to be on the 5th floor of the garage at 4:00 pm, which is the set start time for the outing.
