We have a lot of crows here also. I noticed that theres usually three to
four almost every day. I think they're the funniest of the birds since
they usually hop around instead of walking like other birds do. I haven't
noticed them attacking other birds (and I wouldn't mind them going after
the pigeons). I also noticed that we have at least one hummingbird visit
each day. I remember when I was watering the yard using the sprinkler, one
was taking a bath in the water while still flying.
