<<Is it because the area's become more built-up and crows scavenge people food? >> Yep. I have to put my garbage out in cans rather than Hefty bags because the crows rip the bags apart. It also can be because the density and maturity of the trees in your area is now more to their liking. Or they're flocking up to peck you to death.

The last time I lived in Arlington there was a tame crow in the neighborhood. He'd scare you pretty good if you weren't expecting him to land right next to you. But I don't recall seeing a lot of other crows. N Va had lots of songbirds: Cardinals, Blue Jays, Robins. Whipoorwills. Out here we have Roadrunners, Hummingbirds, Scrub Jays, Wild Canaries, Mockingbirds, Redtailed Hawks. In winter we get a big variety of raptors. And we always have big gangs of suburbanized Crows.
