If it seems like there are more crows (and crow droppings) downtown these days, you can blame COVID-19.
City funding for crow mitigation, which usually runs about $40,000 annually, was axed this year as part of coronavirus budget cuts. It s been a disappointment for Rochester s health-minded downtown, where sidewalks are sometimes slick with droppings that both residents and visitors must navigate.
A normal crow season starts in mid-November and runs through mid-February.
