Mercer Mess for the Birds?

I was just at the intersection of Gowe and Central in Kent and looked up to see a rather strange sight this morning, about 7:20 am as I was taking my daughter to school.

Crows, not flying straight south, in the crow commute I've mentioned before, but about 50 to 100 of them swarming in a circle. It's like their leader had its compass askew and the rest of the bunch followed. Think fish swarming in a big ball to escape a predator in Blue Planet. This is an aerial version of that.


Odd.

Looked up again today, same time, and the compass must be working. They were all flying due south.
