Great photo and sounds. I think that these are rooks, however, not crows. Unlike crows, rooks tend to gather together, especially in the evening, so this looks like a rookery. Crows have a slightly different sound – deeper and more croaky. Here is one of my favourite pieces by Chris Watson – ‘Embleton Rookery': http://youtu.be/r_25HHkgrlY

After checking out the sounds, I am almost certain these are American Crows since Rooks are not here in the states. American Crows gather this time of year (but not during mating season) in communal roosts. Thanks for listening and for your comments!
