Bill,
Yes, we have crows a plenty in SE Texas...they will wreck the solitude of a serene morning quicker than anything with their incessant cawing. When we are hunting, they take great joy in letting the woodland creatures know that we, the hunters, are there. Didn't realize a bird could make so much darn noise. Agreed, they are a fairly intelligent species despite being an annoyance.

...when in doubt...set the hook...
