I think they all moved out west here!!! They've been so prevelant in recent years as to have an adverse effect on the baby desert tortoise population. As urban areas spread in the southwest, so grows the crow/raven populations. Kinda ironic that a native bird, such as crows, which have been viewed as a nusince in recent times should succomb to west Nile virus. They are VERY hardy birds however...can't imagine a few adapting and surviving the disease. But then again they wouldn't be the first species diminished or wiped out by a non-native life-form.
