Hi Everyone, 

 I suppose its possible my friend seen some other species of Black and white 
crow but the bird she pointed out in the bird book looked very much like the 
African Pied Crow which was reported a few times in 2006 before i seen it in 
January of 2007 (did get photos ) . Any one who might have missed those 
reports can read Stan Arnolds report  on February 4th 2007 after he 
photographed the same bird . It was my understanding that it was the African 
Pied Crow . I was only going by others suggestion  thats what it was . Also 
would like to report on a Crow roost .  The Crows have been rolling in at the 
location of the new Walmart on Washington Blvd. in Lansdowne around the 
hours of 6 and 7 . Last night there were around 200 gathering in the trees 
next to the train tracks at the corner of Lansdowne rd. and Hammonds Ferry 
rd. Reminded me of the movie The Birds . Not that im that old. Thanks Sbyrd
