The crow roost in west Knox Co that Andrew wrote about usually forms around 
Middlebrooke Pike near Third Creek and Richmond Hill (just west of I-640)... 
Area #7 of the Knoxville CBC circle incidentally.  Crows can be seen heading 
there from all directions near dusk.  Earlier this week, I saw 200+ flying 
across Ft Loudon Lake from Blount Co heading in that direction.  A couple years 
ago I estimated about 7000 birds at the roost on the Knoxville CBC.  I thought 
I might have had a couple Fish Crows then but couldn't be sure.  They will 
roost together.  A large mixed crow roost was gathering near our place in 
Wilmington NC back in November.

Incidentally, in the past, there has also been a large crow roost on the east 
end of town near the Routledge Pike exit on I-40.  I haven't been by there at 
the right time of day to check for it in several years.
