WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- Flocks of crows are beginning to thin throughout the City of Watertown.

Crews are continuing their hazing efforts over the next several nights, making it a less desirable place for crows to settle. Screamers, flash bangs and high powered lasers are just some of the ways they are working to keep crows outside the city limits.

Right now, many flocks have moved south of the river, but many are still making their way into Watertown.

Wildlife biologists say it's important for residents to send in tips if they see crows in their neighborhood.

"We appreciate all the tips, what streets they are hanging out on, because as I was telling you earlier, once it does get dark out, it gets a little bit harder to find at night, so yes, we do appreciate that," wildlife biologist Tom Cunningham said.

You can report crow activity in your neighborhood by calling 1-800-243-1462 or by going online to AirportWildlife.com/crows.PHP.
