    For sure. Where we live in rural central Ohio, there is a virtual Senate of crows. I love watching them in action–somewhat unlike our own Senate (and Congress). Once in a while several will come to the feeders and the squirrel corn station.

      I remember huge parliaments of them in Iowa City, usually in one or two trees, creating quite a racket at dusk during the winter.
