Sometime in October 2002 Paghat claimed:
"If the West Nile encephalitis continues to eradicate crows, which are
particularly vulnerable to the virus & have already vanished entirely from
some infected east coast cities, a great many people who once complained
of these wonderful intelligent birds will be awfully sorry, remembering
their bold antics fondly."



The 103rd Christmas Bird Count clearly refutes your claim, in particular, there
are plenty of American Crows in DC. One must not believe EVERYTHING one reads,
a bit of COMMON SENSE is required to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Cheers,
Mark

Crows have been eradicated from my part of Michigan. They used to be
everywhere. So it is true to some extent.

But not in DC, the issue here.
Crows may migrate up to 200 miles, perhaps some will repopulate your part of
MI.
