Havent noticed any crows in a good while, I am in northwestern southwest PA. i mentioned it to a few buddies and they say the same. Wondering what its like in your area and the reason for the shortage? Use to be I couldnt go 2 minutes without seeing a bunch and now they are like muskrats, maybe worse.

They seem ok here, same with turkeys, geese and ducks took a hit from bird flu though....maybe that's the cause of your missing crows... if I remember right crows are suseptiple to bird flue...

seem normal here in Iowa.

There's plenty around my house in Western NY. They're all over the roadkill thats exposed because of the recent meltoff

Seeing plenty in SE Va. Passed a green wheat field yesterday that probably had +75 in it.

Plenty here in SW Va also, more recently than I've seen in 10 years. Come get you some.

Similar numbers here now as in the past.

Bryce

They are all now living in NE Ks!

or down here in my neck of the woods.

Not many crows around here for a few years now. Use to see endless flocks of them in years past and hear them all day.

I would not complain.

Population of crows has plummeted here. Many bird species are seemingly in population free fall, barn swallows, red wing black birds, hawks.

I haven't seen any crows here yet either. We usually have a small rookery of 5 to 8 nests on the back of my property. The number has been going down the last few years. There's been as many as 40 crows in that murder. The nests are in very thorny honey locust trees. I like crows and will no longer shoot them.

Thats exactly what Im experiencing.

Come to think of it I havent been seeing them either.

Im going to do a 20 mile loop some day this week with the sole purpose of doing bird inventory.

I mentioned a change 3 years ago on here.
They said I was a bird brain lol.

One, that jumps out. Carolina Wrens
instead of House Wrens.

Woodpeckers seem fine,
Jays and Cards too.

If a cycle it is a 30 or more yr cycle.

I did this last year. It used to be common for powerlines to be heavy with barn swallows, I remember thousands of birds on the spans. I drove an 80 mile loop last summer and counted 12 birds.

We have almost as many dead deer (more than ever remember) per mile as Dollar Generals. The crows and eagles have it covered.

Few around here once the snow goes off the fields should pick up

The crow population here in southeast PA seems stable and there are good numbers around. I see or hear them most days. There did seem to be many more decades ago. I remember several large rookeries in a twenty mile radius around home. I don't see that anymore.

I have noticed a few ravens starting about three or four years ago. I never saw them around here before that. Raven's are common around my camp in north central PA.

Here's some

The illegal Mexicans are taking them home with them .

All the better, IMO. I dislike crows. Just shot one a half hour ago

Not much for crow action around here as in hte past, been that way for a while. We now have more turkey buzzards instead.

The winters here have been mostly open and dry in three of the last four.

I don't think anyone in this part of South Dakota cares if there are less crows or not.

They all came down here. There are hundreds of them@

An old guy that shot crows for bounty showed me a crow flyway.
Later in life I transferred his knowledge to topo map.
This "route" is used by many including the latest, bald eagles.

The old guy had an R870 with the most wear I
have ever seen.

What problems do crows cause? I see some hatred for them and was just wondering. I'm in crow country and they never bothered me.

They eat turkey eggs. I found a bunch last spring that were eaten by crows. I'm sure they eat a lot of songbird eggs, too. I've heard they also do a lot of damage to crops

Before coated seed and tight wrap husks,
crows caused big $ damage to corn.

Now it's the turkeys walking down the rows
plucking the sprouts. But that's different
cause they are majestic trophies.

Plant large amounts of untreated seed
you will see this.
