There are an awful lot of superstitions about crows. In my collection I have found reference to them sitting in churchyards _ a sign of a funeral d-soon to come;
Crows leaving a woods en mass - upcoming famine.
Flying at one another - war;
Flocking together early in the morning and flying toward the sun - good weather for the day; Croaking and even number of times - also good weather;
