Crows nest only once a year, putting all their eggs in one basket, so to speak. Our neighborhood crows are a bit quieter now, because they don't want to bring unwelcome attention to the nests. And you see fewer hanging around with nothing to do.
Yesterday I threw a bit of old cheese in the yard and it was still there a hour later, something that would NEVER happen in the winter, when we're under constant crow surveillance.
Baby crows don't leave the nest until they are adult sized, unless they fall out too early, which is why it seems like you never see them.
But in a few weeks we'll start hearing a ghastly gagging noise, which is the big babies still begging to be fed, as they trail their parents learning the ropes. Such as, the yards where cheese sometimes falls from heaven.
