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.
