As I was leaving my house a couple of days ago, I passed within 10 feet of a crow in my yard. Normally, they do not let me get any where near that close. Then this morning on the way to work, I almost ran over one. It was standing in the middle of the road and did not seem to even notice the car until I was only a few feet from it. If I had not gone around it, I am sure I would have hit it. Haven't found any bodies yet, but I will try to take notice if the local population declines.
