One thing I've noticed at other locations is that the places where crows stage before roosting when the day is ending, and even getting toward dark, are not always where they are actually roosting.
I* don't know the situation at Denver*, but I have observed final roost entries happen when it is in the gloaming and the birds are moving quietly to sheltered spots, after noisily assembling. Here I refer to specific roost trees being different from the staging trees that may be close by, or even some distance from the actual roost.
