Another murder of crows has taken up residence in downtown Bangor this winter — and it’s seemingly bigger than last year’s. While crows have gathered downtown on winter nights for years to stay safe, warm and well-fed, there may be more crows around this year. This could be because the species is seeing a population boom after a virus wiped out many crows in recent years, according to Bob Duchesne, vice president of Maine Audubon’s Penobscot Valley Chapter and creator of the Maine Birding Trail.
