The other day I had the most satisfying experience that I've had with the crows since I got here. They were on the grass all in the same general area. Then they took to the trees, which might have been because of my presence, but some of them chose trees that were close to me. In the trees, they were talking back and forth. The conversations were most interesting. One bird would start cawing. Right after that bird got just one caw out, another one would start. They would caw over each other, but only after each bird got out one single caw.
One bird was in a tree with low branches. It was quite close to me. Another one joined it. The two of them faced each other and began to have a conversation...facing each other and chatting like girlfriends. One talked and the other one answered. The conversation was very short- just seconds. Still, seeing that fascinated me. Then as I left, a crow on a wire above me was cawing. It's head was turned, facing Southwest which is were the trees were, (although it was looking somewhat downward and not up where the leaves of the trees were). But most crows usually just look ahead when they caw. Not this one...Southwest...did it want to look toward the general directions of the birds when it cawed? Was this on purpose?
