Crows are one of the smartest birds. Recent article I read they can count up to five.
Five hunters go in a corn field, they will not go in till they leave. If 6 go in and 5 leave, they will return to feed.
Today's hunting tip. More tips to follow, that is all for now.

Five fingers, on each hand?
No they only have three.
Three in the front, and one behind.

But a ghetto crow has five.
What's a ghetto crow doing in a corn field?

Never mind, they have to be there stealing something.

Researchers for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority found over 200 dead crows near greater Boston recently, and there was concern that they may have died from Avian Flu.
A Bird Pathologist examined the remains of all the crows, and, to everyone's relief, confirmed the problem was definitely NOT Avian Flu.
The cause of death appeared to be vehicular impacts.
However, during the detailed analysis it was noted that varying colors of paints appeared on the bird's beaks and claws.
By analyzing these paint residues it was determined that 98% of the crows had been killed by impact with trucks, while only 2% were killed by an impact with a car.
MTA then hired an Ornithological Behaviorist to determine if there was a cause for the disproportionate percentages of truck kills versus car kills.
The Ornithological Behaviorist very quickly concluded the cause: when crows eat road kill, they always have a look-out crow in a nearby tree to warn of impending danger
They discovered that while all the lookout crows could shout "Cah", not a single one could shout "Truck."

The day after Thanksgiving an owl that had been flying across my path for weeks decided to dive into the grill of my pickup. Broke the plastic grill into two pieces.

It had been flying from left to right. That morning (0530) it came in from the right and hit just left of center. Shook the shit out of the truck.

No entertainment value, just one less rat killer and truck grill in the world.

Cornfield came to within 100 feet of the house.

Crows favored that section of cornfield for some rason.

Walk out the door with a stick, rake, shovel, anything at all (almost) and there was no reaction.

Step oit the door with a .22 or a shotgun and that corn exploded crows.

Eventually figured out a way to get 1 or 2 every so often(usually zero) by wearing a , makeshift ghilly suit, and hiding in the corn field and not moving well before the crows arrived, wait till they were all around me then jump up with a double barrel and maybe get one, on a great day (very rare) I could maybe get 2 of them.

Eventually figured out that the whole business was a waste of time, what with not even eating ( or wanting to eat) the few I did get.

Regards,
